I went to a library conference in March. It was the first in-person conference in two years, and it was lovely! I had an absolutely wonderful time! The conference was held in Portland. I had a great time exploring everything around the hotel and in the Convention Center. The food was amazing! The weather was beautiful most days, even if it did rain most days.
I met a lot of authors. A LOT of authors. Some are very well known and some will soon be well known. I went to their talks, I met them in the exhibits, and I saw them in the hotel lobby. It was awesome!
Here are some of the highlights of my days at the convention in Portland:
I love how the publishers highlight their books of note - they stick these bookmarks in with the names of the honors that the book has received.
What trip to Portland is complete without a pilgrimage to Powell's Books?
The food! Look at this presentation! And this was a carry out container!
The stone lion!
The elephant statue!
The books I picked up! So many books!
Salmon in a banana leaf with blue rice.
I'd never had blue rice before. It was so good!
Chicken Schwarma. I first tried it when I was searching for food in Quebec. Ever since then, one of my favorite go to travel foods is Chicken Schwarma. I got this from a food truck behind the hotel.
Such an elegant mountain. This was the only view I had of it the entire time I was there - while the weather was beautiful it was cloudy.
I love this elegant lion so much, I went back to visit him on another night.
