Tuesday
Night Skate |
Greetings
people of the Portland skating community!! After some maneuvering around the gravel dusting the path at another trolley track site, we wound down the path to the Willamette boat ramp parking lot where there was time for exhibition of skating prowess and skill. Here is where music comes in handy! Dans getting quite good at turning backwards and forwards on his wheels. Keith getting reacquainted with his wheels, and the rest just glad to be outdoors.
Finally we skated to the end of the park where Maria got her
chance to mingle with the local wildlife. The small gang of mallards were skeptical, but
couldnt help their curiosity of Marias astonishingly realistic quacking (ask
her to do it when you see her!).
We rolled back to the fountain in the twilight of a gorgeous
downtown evening in a cool (but not cold!) breeze, jokingly begging some passing bicyclists to give us a tow. Im sure their answer
would have been different had we all not been moving uphill. |
