University of Oregon, Eugene

 Home of the Ducks!   U of O campus is huge so we spent an hour or so driving around it before checking into our hotel last night.  The rain was quickly approaching so we wanted to see as much in the light as possible.  
The famous track and field facility

We drove to the 5th Street Public Market on Pearl Street and got Calzones at The Dough Co. for dinner.
After dinner we checked into our hotel and went on a walk nearby.  We stayed right across the river from campus.  Bike paths and bridges are everywhere!
This morning, we were at the Eugene location of Voodoo donuts (no line!) for another round of deliciousness.  This time I just got a glazed and a chocolate peanut (boring I know) but equally yummy.  Taylor got the Captain My Captain and the Toasted Coconut.  Allison loved the Bacon Maple Bar and the Dubble Bubble.  You can't go wrong here!


We spent a few hours touring a very soggy campus and then chose to do some sales-tax-free spring clothes shopping to get out of the rain for the rest of the day.  We loved Eugene and hope to go back in sunnier weather!
