Downtown Scavenger Hunt

Saturday afternoon, I headed downtown for Susan's Photographical Scavenger Hunt.
We numbered about forty, so we were broken up into groups of five and told to
run around downtown looking for twenty-five items to photograph.
Fortunately, the other members of my group were very enthusiastic (I was trying
to de-thaw my face) and knew downtown much better than I did. My group
consisted of Brian the photographer, Ines, Trish and Sherrie--people who have
lived here far longer than I. Consequently, the four of them proceeded to take
me on a grand merry tour of metropolitan Portland--we went northwest to
Burnside St. in search of dress-up clothes (some store that will remain unnamed
refused to let us do it), to an athletic club to take pictures of a pool,
and hugged a couple taking wedding pictures.
