Writer's Block: Globetrotting

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Right here, where I am. I've done the travel thing. Beyond a quick trip to Europe for the weekend, I'm not sure if there's anywhere I really want to be.


Then again, ask me this question after I've had a few, and the answer might change quite a bit.

Vegas?! Bleh - of all the places to visit in America...

Go anywhere BUT Vegas! Anywhere at all!

Tell you what, you get yourselves to Oregon, I'll put you up for two weeks, free, no problem :-)

We've got sunshine, coffee, rivers, lakes, ocean, coffee, mountains, waterfalls, sunshine, coffee, sports, music, theatre, coffee, sunshine, art, parks, bicycling, sunshine, coffee... :D

And did I mention sunshine? And coffee? :DDD

Don't listen, John. The thing about the sunshine? Lies!


Everything else is pretty spot on, though. With the addition of hippies.

What the hell...? Who are you even? This is why I don't allow anon commenting on my own journal :(

It's true that in Western Oregon (where I live) nine months out of the year there's plenty of rain and clouds. But from mid-June through September it's sun sun sun nearly all the time (well, OK, right now it's overcast but warm and we'll have plenty of sunshine this afternoon).

Also, Eastern Oregon is very sunny pretty much year-round.

So HA! You cowardly Anon! Do your research!

Yes, hippies of all descriptions abound - fresh produce and funky art everywhere :D

East of the Cascades, yeah. But who holidays in the Dalles or Prineville? No one. You go to P-town. Or Seattle, which is worse, because it's Seattle.

Children, be nice.

Especially be nice to Seattle, because we rock. We have a huge sculpture of a troll, too.

I was in LV once. It was about 105F the whole time, the games are dumb, and everyone smokes indoors. There was ONE adult bookstore in the whole town. Ugh.

HOOD RIVER!!! OK, maybe it's sometimes bit wet there too, but between windsurfing on the Columbia and climbing Mt. Hood who cares?

Also Bend. Bend is a very happening place these days. Or Sisters, which is a lovely little town at the foot of the North and Middle Sisters.

Also, for exploring the great outdoors you can't beat Malheur or Steens Mtn.

River rafting down the Deschutes; fishing and fossils on the John Day...

OK, maybe I'm an outdoorsy type. I suppose if you're not there's not much to do in Eastern OR. But if it's sunshine you want, why bury yourself in a God-awful casino?!?!

PS So who are you anyway? Tourist director for NV? ;-)

It'll be an experience!

Although I really just wanna see the shows and John beating everyone in poker

I was tricked once by his butter wouldn't melt and I'm wearing a jumper face

Never again
