some pdx fun
The soapbox derby on Saturday was fun, and within a short walking distance of our house, so that made it extra good.
The highlights of the event ended up having nothing to do with the derby. I ran into a guy who was a boyfriend 20 years ago (I really never thought I would see him again) and then stopped to ask a guy directions to the spectator area who said "um, are you from Iowa?" He was my next-door neighbor's boyfriend. Small, strange world.
The photos I shot ended up not so great, but I'll post a few anyway. Turns out, it's not easy to shoot things that are flying down a hill straight at you. Who knew?
These people were driving a dive bar car. It was such a good laugh to see them sitting at the bar drinking beer as they hurtled down the hill. The second time around, their front tire popped and it rolled to a stop right in front of us. Bummer!
This guy in the taqueria cart was actually handing out tacos as they sped by.
