Eugene

We followed Marc recommendation to visit Eugene, a small city in Oregon. The main reason to go was the many small breweries they have here. We parked in an RV park just outside the city last night and decided to stay one more night since the camp is so neat and we fell in love with Eugene.
Luckily we arrived here on Saturday because in the camp they make an outdoors breakfast every Sat. morning. It's a good chance to chat with other guests and exchange information.










Visiting the city, we found out that beside the cool small breweries that Dagan enjoyed so much, this is a town of hippies, gays and whatever you would want to be. There's enough space for everyone. 'Sunshine' and 'Moon' seem to be popular names, as we met few people with those names. You must click the picture to enlarge it and see for yourselves the locals!
We visited a Saturday market of local crafts, food and music. The trademark of the market is tie dye shirts that are very popular. Aviv got one too.









They even have their own William Kisaki! (-:
And look at this... these guys were trying to film themselves in action

The town is full of special bike trails all over and loads of people on bikes. From the market we drove to Alton Baker Park to ride the bikes along the river.
Off the beaten track...
As we were riding we heard distant music. Getting closer we saw this samba band, playing batucada in the park. People were gathering around - dancing, juggling and having fun. We joined in of course.
