the sherwood merrywalkers presents the great easter egg hunt  -  sherwood,  Saturday 3/31

Another great day for walking and there seemed to be a bit more shade.  The roses were in full bloom and it was a great day to explore the garden.  Of course I parked on the "wrong" side of the park, but it was nice to see Barb and Noreen at the Start Table.  I opted for the 5k today, but I still ran into quite a few walkers.  It is so much fun seeing the streets filled with bicyclists and walkers. Portland's finest did a great job of keeping the cars at bay.  As the bicyclists whizzed by all of a sudden I hear "Hey you!"  Here's Antonella on her bike. Some of the things we saw on the route were lots of sleeping toddlers in their bike-mobiles, volunteers who not only had their happy faces on but even wore funny hats, kids blowing bubbles and one guy passing out freeze pops to the bikers and the walkers.  The weather was perfect.  Along the way I passed the Baptist Church and asked them why they didn't have a BBQ dinner offered, he said he would ask the pastor and who knows, maybe next year we'll get some good southern BBQ!
