Back in "The Eug"
Eugene, Oregon: I
don't suppose there is a person reading this blog
who does not know DT is a huge Duck football fan.
Just in case... DT is a huge Duck football fan! We
are in Eugene for the weekend home opener against
the University of New Mexico Lobos.
We are camped at our autumn "home away from home",
Premier RV Resort
- conveniently located right next to Interstate 5.
Yes, it is a little
noisy, but they have huge pull-through sites with 50 amps. Everything a
girl needs. (They also have cable TV and free high-speed wifi.)
Premier RV Resort
is also conveniently located at the bottom of the famed Coburg
Hills which My Driver informed me I "need to
run up" tomorrow. I am fairly certain I do not "need" to run up the Coburg
Hills tomorrow, but I am fairly certain I will.
It will give me something to bitch complain about the rest
of the weekend day.
That'll teach him.
After settling-in and resting up, we went downtown to have dinner at
Marché
with our friend, Rob. Rob has his MBA from the
Warsaw School at the University of Oregon. This school specializes in
sports marketing. Rob was on the team that organized the 2008 Olympic Track
& Field trials in Eugene. I just love Rob. As always, we enjoyed delicious
meals at Marché.
This time of year every (decent) restaurant in
Oregon is serving tomatoes of every sort. We only
get about two weeks a year where tomatoes are
actually ripe enough to cut without a chainsaw, which, of course, every Oregonian carries with them at all times with a
knife and fork. For some strange reason, we all
ordered steak frites. Why not? It is always perfect
at Marché.
It just wouldn't be a RVGoddess.com post without one
little teeny food photo, would it?
Sorry.
Can't help myself.
Even in my tallest (strappiest) heels, Rob is 16
inches taller than me. I am really short. Rob is
really tall.
Tomorrow will be a busy day. The Magna Peregrinus is
being washed and our favorite RV tech is coming over
to tweak a few things.
Until my next update, I remain, your really short
correspondent.
