Willamette Riverbank in Riverfront Park, Salem, OR, USA
41 degrees, partly cloudy
I’ve noticed over the last few months that sitting around all day at class makes it hard for me to feel tired at night. So, my friend Thomas and I decided to go for an adventure. I told him about Hannah and my walk to Riverfront Park the other day and we decided to go, since he had never been before. On our walk, we saw so many different animals! It is so strange how many more animals come out when all the crowds of people are in bed. As we were approaching Riverfront Park we both heard a scurry in front of us and to my shock it was a possum! Yuck. Those are probably the grossest animals on the face of this earth. We both quickly ran away and as we were going to go look out over the river we saw another one! Why do these animals decide only to come out at night? Are they like cats and have night vision? Well luckily I’ve never seen one of these on Willamette campus before, and I hope I never do!
