Altan Baker park













On the first day of our trip, we decided to stop in Eugene for lunch. In case you don't know, Eugene is seriously one of Ben's favorite places in the whole world! (: He loves the UofO and Eugene holds a special place in his heart!

Anyway, we drove past one of our old apartments and stopped at a grocery store to pick up lunch. The kids were freezing but we knew we wanted them to get some energy out before another few hours in the car.

I had such a fun time watching the kids try to protect their lunch from the ducks! We took them there when they were teeny-tiny, so it was fun to bring them back.

We got them back in the car, swung passed Autzen stadium, let Ben get an Oregon fix and then kept on going.

safe & sound

Just wanted to let everyone know, I got an email from Ben last night. He made it to East Timor and is all settled in his hotel. Apparently the hotels don't have phones. Hmmm...so he is going to buy a local cell phone. So until then I don't know much. But I know he made it. Phew.

** Funny story, Ben was reading some travel blogs about East Timor and one of the people who were writing said that they had been their twice. The second time was so much better because they now offered such amenities as toilet paper and chocolate. Doesn't that sound like a place you want to be?!
