Unexpected Friends and Unexpected Naked Parades

It’s always nice to find out that people you know and love are in your neighborhood. This is especially true when you have moved a continent away from most of the people you know and love.

We have had several such surprises.

First, we were surprised to hear that our good friend, Molly and her boyfriend Nick, were here visiting her sister who interns at Nike. Molly is a friend of both of ours from VT; from my major and from Tess’ Class.

We had a nice evening talking about our careers; she has a job working with Low Impact Development. You dedicated blog readers will recall that I am taking classes in that soon ; ) . We happened to catch, by chance, the International Naked Bike Ride of Portland as it passed down the street where we were. It gathered a record number of participants this year, with approximately 10,000 bikers to “Bare as much as you Dare”. Sorry this image is so blurry, but you probably don't want to see it anyway. It was all a blur. "Keep Portland Weird", indeed.
