Dear Oregon,
I’m into you. You seem to have all the things I’m looking for in a state:
- Mountains
- A coast
- Many rivers and lakes
- Cool cities
- Local wine and beer
- Robust agriculture (berries, grapes, hazelnuts, etc.)
- Interesting people
- Next Door filled with drama
After a week of 11-hour days, I managed to make time to explore. Three of my coworkers and I headed to Lincoln City on the coast.
Unlike Southern beaches, your beaches are cold and craggy. Beautiful in their own way.
More “Game of Thrones” than “Too Hot to Handle.”
I’m a fan.
After the beach walk, I had the best fish and chips of my life.
Looking forward to exploring all your nooks and crannies.
Love,
Beth, STL/ATL/SAV Transplant

Observe and report 
Clam chowder.

I had that too. It was good. I’m just not a huge fan of chowder.
