Another rainy day in Eugene

Today was day #5 of being in rain and we're getting tired of it. Today we went to the Saturday market. Most of the vendors are selling crafty-type stuff, which we don't really care for or have the room for. There is a small farmers' market, selling beautiful produce. Since Eugene gets 48" of rain per year, it seems natural that they get some nice produce. Our big find for the day was a pint basket of morel mushrooms for $8. Whenever you see morels in a store, they are usually much more than that. Since we already had dinner for tonight planned, we are going to figure out a recipe to have them with steak tomorrow. Yum! We also stopped at a very nice grocery store called Market of Choice, that came recommended by our friends, Susan & Rick. It was a beautiful store. We picked up some things we needed for dinner and headed home for lunch. Later that afternoon we went to see The DaVinci Code. I thought it was pretty good, certainly more attention-grabbing than the book. I read the book a while ago and had a hard time getting into it, but the movie was better. If you've only read DaVinci code, or none of Dan Brown's books, I suggest you read Angels & Demons, which I thought was more exciting than his other 2 books.

That was it for our day. Another wet day in the rain. The weather is calling for less rain tomorrow, and no rain Mon.-Wed. (we leave here on Wed.), so we'll see. It would be nice to get out and ride our bikes once before we leave here.
