Amazingly we had nothing on the calendar for this day, so Cara did some digging and found a free Concert in the Park in Sellwood. We remembered walking around that area last year, and liking it, and finding a nice restaurant with great vegan pho soup, so we decided to bike there for dinner and then to check out the concert. It turned out to be a lovely bike ride, a delicious meal, and a great concert!

| A submarine outside the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) - this was right along our bike path. |
 |
| The Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge - one of the wonderful sights on the Springwater on the Willamette Trail. |
 |
| Cara loved looking at the art displayed at this gallery last year. She was disappointed to see it was having a closing sale. |
 |
| Part of the interior of Mekong, a great Vietnamese restaurant in Sellwood, OR. We love this beautiful community table. |
 |
| Phenomenal vegetarian (vegan) Pho soup at Mekong. We may have to branch out and go back and try something else. |
 |
Once again, tons of people turned out for the Concerts in the Park events. And why not? It's free, fun music in a lovely
outdoor setting. |
 |
| The bike parking area at Sellwood Riverfront Park. There are always tons of bikes at any event. |
 |
Tera Zarra performing with Wanderlust Circus. Their "gymnastic strongwoman", she was definitely multi-talented: she
balanced on bars (above) and chairs, she bent a metal bar and a frying pan, she tore a phone book in half the hard way,
she busted a concrete block in half on her arm, and she did splits and flips galore. |
 |
"Mister Creature" setting up his homemade pipe organ contraption - wish we could remember what they called it.
In any case, you can see it in action in the video below. |
 |
After the concert we checked out the rest of the park. There is a nice beach area that everybody seemed to love.
(That's downtown Portland in the distance.) |
