Portland Zoo








What do you do in Oregon when you plan a trip to the zoo, but it's raining? Judging by all the cars in the zoo parking lot, I guess you just go ahead with your plans. I was sure that we would be the only people crazy enough to wander through the zoo all day in the rain. But much to my surprise the parking lot was packed. Families piled out of their cars, put on raincoats, rain boots, plastic ponchos and opened up brightly colored umbrellas. I guess when you get 40 inches of rain a year, you don't let a little water keep you at home.
