Our second day in Eugene was as idyllic as the first. It started off with a sampling from Master Donuts (we might as well continue our donut tour of the Pacific Northwest), and a trip over to Armitage Park. The town has no shortage of river parks, but this one is a favorite of Alicia and Isaias. For good reason:
And a nice, lazy morning was followed by a nice, lazy afternoon. After lunch, we headed back to Isaias' fishing spot along the Willamette.
I wish that picture was posed. I was as confused as I looked. Fishing isn't exactly a way of life in the deserts of Southern Arizona.
An hour later, I was still coming up empty, but at least I had the look down.
Isaias claims he caught something, but I'm convinced that he brought a sardine from home.
And just for some context on fishing in rural Oregon, this is what a grocery store magazine rack looks like in Eugene. Mind you, this isn't the magazine rack of a gun shop or an outdoor outfitter. It's a grocery store. If we ever move here, I'm going to need a lot more fishing practice. And apparently a gun.
But it was the perfect taste of being outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, and a nice teaser for what was coming up for us in Canada.
