Leslie told us that Eugene is the hippie town in Oregon. And seriously, the number of buddhist flags and odd street art in this town turned out to be uncountable. When we arrived on Wednesday night (6/6), we drove past several garden parties full of people with dreadlocks and tie-died shirts. The smell of weed was distinct in the air.
Even our hostel looked like a yoga retreat center.
Eugene is also the town of University of Oregon. We didn’t get to see very much of that more serious side of the city, though. This place just seemes overcrowded with wackoes and free-thinkers.
I’m telling you. Eugene, Oregon, crazy!
