Hey there, all you blog following friends/fiends! We are currently in Ashland, OR under warm sunny skies! We have 9 minutes to get a quick post out here at the public library, so hold onto your hats! Here are a few quick highlights from our past week or so:
Portland: Dan, Amanda, and Emmaline are amazing hosts and friends! We so much appreciated getting to stay with them, laugh, relax, and spend some time catching up and getting to know one another. Emmaline is cute as a button and a total sweet heart! Finally getting our doughnut fix at Voodoo Doughnuts was delicious: maple bacon bar - 'nough said! We dig the East side of town - Mississippi St. and Brooklyn were great. POK POK - holy crap we won't ever be able to fully enjoy thai food again . . . until we go back there! The gorge is gorgeous . . . yeah I just said that! Multnomah Falls and Horsetail falls in the sunshine were most excellent. Carnival rides at the Rose Festival, also sweet. Not to be forgotten, the Saturday Market was stellar. Not cool = Hillsboro. Really happy to not be considering there as a future living place. Although, they do have a Winco grocery store which was awesome with tons of bulk stuff!
Fast forward through Albany, sweet little town, lovely historic homes, we will post pics when we get a chance.
Eugene: Most excellent. Funky funky blend of homes and people - hippy grand central with a sophisticated athleticism lended by University of Oregon. (4 minutes to go on the computer here!) There are tons of outdoor opportunities, incredible park with Steve Prefontaine inspired running trails, and really cool nightlife and edibles.
Onward to Ashland: home of incredible Shakespeare Festival and other theatre and arts, this place is so far amazing. Near the Rogue River, not too far from Crater, and the weather is amazing! We are digging on this mountain side town and definitely interested to check it out further, so here we go to Lithia Park! Alright - 2 minutes to go!
We love you all and will write with better info and more details soon!
