Graduation and Vacation

I graduated with my MS in Information Systems last Saturday. I also got a certificate for completing my degree with a 4.0 GPA. On Sunday, Bill and I flew to Portland on vacation. After we landed, we visited the Portland Saturday Market, which was very interesting. There were all kinds of things for sale. We also briefly visited Powell’s Books, which is a 3-story book store taking up an entire city block. I learned some interesting things about Portland and Oregon during our trip. You are not allowed to pump your own gas in Oregon, so gas is about 40 cents per gallon more expensive than in Texas. People ride bikes everywhere. Oregon has no sales tax, so a lot of people from Washington drive to Portland for shopping.
I have posted some of my pictures on flickr. And, I will post some pictures here later with each day of our trip.
