Last weekend was Homecoming and Parents weekend here at
L&C and it was a blast! My mom came up to visit me and, for you parents out
there, taking your college students shopping and out to dinner is the only way
to visit. Living in the on campus
apartments, I mostly make my own food, so, while I can cook, oftentimes my
dinner consists of pasta or scrambled eggs.
But not last weekend! Last weekend was an amazing food tour of some of
he best that Portland has to offer. We
went to Le Happy (a crepe restaurant in NW), The Little Bird (a bistro in SW),
The Tin Shed (a restaurant in NE), and Zeppos (a restaurant in Lake Oswego).
Keep in mind that all this happened between Friday night and Sunday afternoon,
that’s A LOT of good food! In terms of
shopping, there is no sales tax, which means that if you come from California
like me everything is essentially on sale, making really great deals! We bought pants and boots and sweaters, all
staples for the upcoming Portland winter!

This weekend also had the start of the real competition
season for Lewis and Clark Swimming with the NWC Relay Meet, our first
all-Conference swim meet. At the meet, L&C competed well getting 6th
overall. This meet was super exciting because it was the first intercollegiate
competition for our 10 new freshmen. All
of them (as well as our returners) were great teammates and competitors; our
team is shaping up pretty well this year.

In other athletics news, women’s cross-country team won
their conference with Emily Thomas, a senior, getting first place overall! And the men’s team came in an unexpected
second place despite injuries early in the season.
