Some Oregon observations:
- People make eye contact here. I keep thinking, "Why are you staring at me!?" and then I realize it's just general friendliness. Wow - what culture shock compared to LA.
- The speed limit signs actually mean the speed you're supposed to go, not a jumping off point. Make sure not to go more than 5 miles over or prepare to brave the local police (this is, thankfully, not from personal experience - really).
- The beauty is spectacular!
