Tailgating in Eugene

So, after returning from Seaside, we spent a few more days in Portland before taking a weekend trip down to Eugene, Oregon (about 2 hours South of Portland) for probably the biggest game of the year in college football. It was actually supposed to be just another game, so my friend Ben Olds was able to get us tickets well in advance, but as it turned out, the two teams, Oregon and Arizona State, came in ranked 4th and 5th in the country. But the real thrill of this adventure was to get Hadas to watch a complete football game and try to get her drunk on the way. And we were more than partially successful. So we tailgated (for all you Israelis, tailgating is the ceremony of eating and drinking in the parking lot before the game) with spiked apple cider, bloody marries, deviled eggs and a great atmosphere and then saw the Ducks (Oregon) whip the Sun Devils to go up to number 3 in the rankings. It was great!
