While I intended to publish this under Joan’s ‘Sitting by the lake” post, you can’t post photos in comments (something I’m working on fixing in) so I decided to create a separate post.

I’ve been traveling across the great state of Oregon for about a week now. I flew into Portland with Michael (my partner) and stayed with a friend for few days - then we traveled to Oceanside on the coast for a few days and now we are in Baker City, up in the mountains of eastern Oregon. Yesterday alone we drove about 400 miles from Oceanside to Baker City.

I’m amazed by how diverse this state is, the contrast between eastern and western Oregon is more stark (culturally, economically, geographically etc…) than upstate New York and NYC!

Spending time in such diverse areas has triggered many breakthroughs which I will elaborate on in future posts over the next few days - Its funny how when ever I leave New York I snap into ‘production’ mode!

In the meantime I wanted to share a few pictures of some of places I’ve been. Enjoy!
