My new favorite workout. If you wake up early enough, we can even go together! Bring some socks and enthusiasm and be prepared for a booty kicking workout.
Parking in the area requires pay from the hours of 8am-7pm...so workout at 6 with me and you'll be fine! ;-)

Kako uštediti

Običaji i kultura
Oregon Drivers
Oregon Drivers are very cautious and can be so overly deferential that it can often catch you off guard (like when they slam on the breaks because they predict someone may cross the street, and you are close behind them).
It's illegal to be on your phone unless it's handsfree, so be aware of that and just generally don't look at your phone when you drive because pedestrians are everywhere, and overly hesitant drivers can cause issues if you're not paying attention!
Šta spakovati
Always pack rain gear
Even if you're coming in the summer, it's still best to pack a light rain coat and extra socks and shoes. You just never know what the skies will bring.
Korisne fraze
Greeting strangers
You'll find here, that people ask, "How's your day going?" rather than, "How are you?" It's a funny, pervasive habit that you're welcome to return!
