Kids at home for spring break? Take 'em on a transit and Tram tour! The 4-T Trail is always fun (and takes 2-3 hours), but you could do a shorter trip taking Streetcar to South Waterfront. Why wait for that trip to Europe to experience urban delight?

Sometimes a ride on the Tram makes you feel you're in a work of art - the light, the colors, the perspective.
Sometimes, if you're the Tram, you're in a work of art.
Thanks Robert Wood Hastings for sharing this beautiful scene. Portland Aerial Tram and Portland Streetcar riders can find Bob's art on notecards steps away from the lower terminal at Ecru Modern Stationer .
