Walking

We chose to enjoy Eugene with a 10K volkswalk along the Willamette River.  These words at the hotel where we started express well the philosophy of the walks we take when we visit a new area.

Our walk took us through the rose garden, a smaller version of the one in Portland but with a 200-year-old black tartarian cherry tree.

This gaggle of geese was recovering from a gab fest.

The park we walked through is enjoyed by the whole range of residents, either on foot or bike.  There are several community gardens, playgrounds, views, nature trails and an excellent senior center.  And this skate board park is quite popular.
