HOT!

I spend a lot of time on airplanes these days! Last week the destination was Eugene Oregon. It was my first time to Oregon, and the 3 days I was there were the hottest days in 100 years - so they say. The temperature was above 100 degree Fahrenheit (high 30ies in Celsius), which is hot for the usually temperate, rainy west coast state. Returning to 30 degree warm Calgary felt like a relief!

Eugene and Portland; both university towns / cities are cute, lots of trees, lots of bikes, lots of local agriculture, i.e. lots of fresh food, such as delicious berries!
