Going
An early morning departure gets us into Portland before noon, but parking spaces are in short supply on the Lewis & Clark campus.
Arrival at L&C Holmes Hall
Finally we make contact with Ivi, who is putting the finishing touches on her custom/self-made dress. We join Ivi and her visiting friend, Marina (also graduating from OSU in a few weeks), in the dorm where they have made a stab at packing it all up.
Honors Convocation
After we eat the sandwiches found in our cooler, Ivi heads off to prepare for the afternoon honors awardees’ event at the Agnes Flanagan Chapel. Later on, the rest of us join the audience there for the proceedings. This is to be the beginning of my weekend-long exercise in the arcane specialty of photography of subjects’ backs.
Hotel
Pretty much exhausted, we check into our nearby hotel. Nik revs up a computer to take an online test, and we are soon all asleep.
