Guide to Oregon
This is a school project I had to do in 1999, so with that in mind I don't update this page very often. I moved to Oregon in 1997, after living in La Crosse, Wisconsin for 19 years. I graduated high school in 1996 from Holmen High School, in Holmen, WI. I also spent 5 months living in Salgesch, Switzerland, as an au pair(nanny). Adjusting to Oregon life has taken some time, but now I feel like a full fledged Oregonian.
Oregon is full of so very many things to do. I have sadly not been able to see everything, but here are a few things that I have enjoyed seeing or doing. I live about one hour from the bright lights of Portland, the sandy dunes of the coast, or the tall trees of the mountains. Which offers me the chance to experience all the wonders Oregon does have to offer.
One of the best things about moving to Oregon for me, was meeting my boyfriend Jeff. He's a great guy, we have a lot of laughs with one another. We like to drink coffee, and go to movies. We also spend a lot of time with his family on the coast. Wanna check out their family business The PitBoss?
I really think that the lifestyle's in Oregon is very different from the other places I have lived. It seems as if people here are more interested in music, coffee and things to do outdoors. And yes, it does rain here a lot, but not everyday. For live pictures of Oregon click the rain cloud
Here are some links that may be useful if you want to be hip to Oregon ways
It seems as if I spend hours upon hours of each day ordering a drink or drinking a drink, here are some of my favorites.
