Our apartment to be
is directly across from Autzen Stadium (home of the UofO Ducks.) These
pictures are of the parking lot for the stadium (it also doubles as a
field and a running track.)
This is one of the
walls of the stadium. It is an earthenwork structure (with concrete on the
inside forming the stands) and one of the two hills in Eugene. It holds
about 40K.
Today is both the
Saturday Market/Farmers Market and the "Eugene Celebration".
Eugene Celebration is a lot like a cross between Music Midtown and the
Arts Festival. Seen above are typical booths; candles, handmade hemp
attire and pottery.
Back view of booths
featuring the downtown fountain and it's sculptures.
Bicycles are a
primary means of transportation in Eugene. Most streets have in Eugene do
have car lanes though (seriously.) The above picture should illustrate the
point.

Eugene Hash (EH3(I noticed a group of people in Togas and
Nikes.)

Non-Profit booth area.
Eugene is a city
that does not have usual food selection. Above is a menu from the festival
(Demaris ate here #1.) They call this cajun.
