| Ashland to Eugene
|
|
|
|
|
| Most of the drive north passed through rolling, forested hills like
these.

| Eugene
|
|
|
|
|
| A central street (Broadway) in the University of Oregon campus has many
colorful plants and flowers.
| The edge of Eugene's Saturday Market.
| A sample lane in the market, this one showing ceramics, hats, and
jewelry, all pretty.
| Pea brains for sale!

The market's main food court has a huge variety: middle eastern, thai,
mexican, tofu.
We actually found this only after we'd already bought food from
elsewhere in the market.
| In the farmers market section, funky tomatoes: chocolate cherry
tomatoes, with a deep maroon color.
| I bought part of my lunch from Cousin Jack's, in the
farmers market section of the market.
| My pasty, containing leek, potato, cheddar, onions, and turnip.

| Di Yin and I split a pizza from this joint, Hideaway Bakery.
| Our "diavola" pizza, with sausage, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes.
|
I contemplated buying a beer from Ninkasi, a supposedly good brewery
that was pouring at the market, but ended up not doing so.
|
I also bought some tomatoes and plums from the market.

|
| We sat and ate at the table right in front of these guys jamming. When
we finished and got up to leave, I looked to see how I could give them
money, but they didn't want it.
| A movie (with sound) of the guys jamming. This isn't typical of what
they played; they usually sung Rolling Stone songs.
I like the way the guy on the left bounces.

| Dinner at Apizza Scholls, Portland
|
|
|
|
| We returned to Apizza Scholls, this time sitting at the bar. We could
see the pizza oven in the kitchen. In contrast, on our first visit, we
sat in the back-right.
| Our cheese pizza. Good, with similarly perfect and with a perfectly
cooked crust, as on our previous visit.
We finished it!
|
I drank a Franziskaner Weisse beer, which was on draft. It was good,
fruity with hops, and interesting.
