Exploring Oregon...Some Day I Shall Call It Home

I am enjoying my 2nd trip to Portland, OR in a few months.  Today my friend Russ and I will be exploring some new parts of Oregon, mostly around the coast.  Read my horoscope and it reaffirmed that I will have a fantastic day....if those have any base in reality, reading them is just fun.

I plan to move up here some day to realize my dream of moving somewhere that I can live in the "middle of nowhere" with lots of nature and animals around me, but only be 30 minuets or so away from a city where I can still enjoy the nightlife and be surrounded by music.  During my other trips it has always been sunny and semi-warm.  Today it is cold, wet, and a little windy; more typical Portland weather.  I am excited to explore more of the city and it's surroundings in it's "natural state".

Oh, by the way, here is what my horoscope said:
Aries: Your fiery energy is just right for hitting the streets and exploring new territory -- or finding your way around your own backyard. See if your people are ready for a big adventure!

 Time to head out on my adventure!!
