Oregon aka: OR

...for the first 20 miles. Then things started getting mountainous. I was very happy to see normal sized trees, especially after my thousands-of-miles trip through the south. There was an amazing part of I-84 that came winding down the mountain into a town. I’ll never forget it. It had 3 warning signs to truckers, a weigh station with 3 MPH signs up (a tie for the slowest speed limit sign I’ve ever seen (5km/h in Prague)). It was so cool, I video’d the entire trip down, even though that was definitely not the safest thing to do….

My parents got me a ticket to Portland Jan 09 to see two of my best friends that live there. I wish I could have stayed longer then the 4 days I was there, because there is so much to see & do!
I found it to be such a beautiful place, that I just can’t WAIT to go back!

I love living here. I can never get enough of the beauty in nature. I love squishing my toes in the sand.

After 6 years in exile in Texas, I’m finally back. When I came to visit for my house hunting trip, I was nearly in tears as I visited the places I had loved before – the nature park, the library, the wonderful food. It’s great to be back.

I absolutly love living in Oregon, I have lived here my whole life and cannot imagine living anywhere else in the United States (except fo the wilderness of Alaska), or living in a more beautiful place. Oregon is imensly diverse in landscape and in the people who inhabit it, and has the perfet mix of urban areas and nature. Portland, my home town, is my favorite. :]
