Oregon

So posting Oregon photos has taken a bit longer than anticipated, but here they are!

I took a trip with M. at the end of August to Portland and Euguene, Oregon to visit some friends. Oregon is absolutely beautiful - many tall, cascading mountains, plenty of hiking trails, and Portland is probably the cleanest, quietest large city I've been too, although I only saw a small portion of it. While in Eugene I got a look at the University of Oregon - M.'s a track fan so this was right up his alley. The campus regardless was phenomenal; this was the first large university I've gotten a chance to explore in depth fascilities we incredible. I would love to go to grad school there, but unfortunately they don't offer my program. We also visited the Oregon Zoo, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) and got a chance to visit the coast.

I had a great time and it was a good end to the summer, and I definitely would love to go back!
