Relatively quiet day while staying in Portland. We took the bus in the morning down to Waterside Park and initially walked through the open air market. Nothing major to say, the booths were typical. Then we walked down to a bike rental place and rented a couple of 3-speed bikes to ride along the river. Back to the market area, where we used the Porta Potties and the continued north until we rode across a bridge to the other side. Then it was to the south for a while before we turned around and headed back the same way we came. We only had the bikes for an hour, but it caused Ann's sides and back to hurt. After a rest, we walked over to have lunch in a very little food court in downtown, it was decent, and then took the bus back to the Airbnb. Afternoon spent hanging out there, had a nap and watched some football.
I finished Wayward, second book in the Wayward Pines trilogy. This one continued the story of Ethan Burke, now sheriff of Wayward Pines. He visits the offices of the people who are controlling the town, including billionaire David Pilcher, who foresaw the devastation of earth and arranged to have the town built and populated. Burke eventually tells the townspeople about the situation in the town, and at the end of the book we are left wondering what will happen after power to the protective electric fence is turned off.
