Weekend at the Columbia Gorge

I have a confession. I love looking at other peoples albums on facebook, because it's the next best thing to visiting the place. Some people get to travel to so many exciting, foreign places, and see so many interesting things. Looking at their albums is my way of visiting those places, I guess, because I don't think it's in the cards for me to travel.   I have just never had the opportunity, and I'm so busy with school and work, I doubt I ever will. Luckily for me, I live in the most gorgeous valley, where there are so many things to see. All I have to do is drive. The upcoming blog posts will have more photos from my adventures.

This weekend was perfect for visiting the Columbia Gorge! It was cool and kind of misty, but the weather was just right for taking interesting pictures. If only I had more time.  We only spent about an hour there, then moved on to Portland.

Here's me and my mom at the river downtown. City stretching out behind us... very cosmopolitan. Behind us, to the left, is OHSU, which, if by some miracle I ever finish college, will be my grad school.

Well that took forever. Blog posts are time consuming. Now, I think it's time for a huge giant soda, tacos with homemade tortilla shells, and some Lion King.
