Good-bye Eugene, Hello Portland
It’s my last day in Eugene, my hometown (where the Olympic track and field trials were recently held).
In an hour the ‘fam will drive me to Portland and drop me off at Reed College for my week-long workshop at the Summer Institute for Intercultural Training.
I’ve been too busy enjoying summer and my family to write or upload any photos. But I have a couple good pics from the Oregon Country Fair, so I’ll upload those to Flickr when I’m back in Carrboro.
What a fun week it’s been — swimming every evening, drinking iced coffee at 5th Street Market, biking/walking to the duck pond next to the Willamette River, spending a windy day at the coast, baking cupcakes — but now it’s time to grab my clothes out of the dryer, stuff everything into my travel backpack (which, by the way, I love so much that I’d marry it, if I weren’t already hitched), and drive the teal Loser Cruiser north to Portland.
After spending a week with people who are as crazy as I am (i.e. the family), I’m looking forward to spending a week with people who are as crazy about intercultural communication and training as I am. On to Portland!
We miss you honey. Reed College was a great place to have a conference. Swimming is not the same without you!!!! Love, Momo
Looser Cruiser?? Come on! It’s better than the dinosaur! What do you want a BMW?

@Annonaymouse teehee: yes, indeed the LC is better than the dinosaur. By far! Don’t need a BMW, just thought using LC sounded more interesting than mini-van. I use LC with much affection.
@Momo – I miss you guys (and swimming every night) too!
