On my way to Portland Oregon

I just arrived in Oregon at 4 in the morning on a Friday. I’m so excited that I finally get to go to Oregon! I’ve been in my mom’s car for so long for about 11 hours or so, I feel numb. When we left, there was traffic and that was bad enough. The road over here is so curvy and particularly in the dark, you can’t see anything. It’s just pitch black and daunting. As we drive forward, there are no cars in front, and while we turn our heads back, there are also no cars. It’s like we are the only ones on the planet. If you ever been to Lake Tahoe or Santa Cruz, that’s how the road looks like. I don’t know how others do it, but they drive very fast in this kind of road and they seem to know it well. It’s probably because we aren’t used to curvy roads at dark because the Bay Area barely have freeways like this. We made an exit for gas at this place who knows what’s it called, but it looks like a place you would see in a scary movie, such as “House of Wax, or Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. So the smart thing we did was drive back onto the freeway and waited until we made it to a city. Did you know that there is no self-service in gas stations here in Oregon? It’s so strange because we have self-service in California.

I was so eager to see the “Welcome to Oregon” sign; I fell asleep and missed it. I always take a picture of every state I’ve been to. I took pictures of Nevada, California, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas signs. So continuing my story, I woke up 5 seconds after we passed the sign. I tried really hard to stay awake, but I just dozed off for a bit. GRRRRR. As we kept driving after entering Oregon, we haven’t seen any houses. It’s all trees. No wonder they have a tree logo on their license plate. Ha-ha. After I woke up, my little sister and I started to have a karaoke party in the car. We started singing all of the songs we had on our iPod. Surprisingly, my little sister who is 7 knows more song than my sister who is 25! The car ride sucked and I prefer to take the plane on my next trip to Oregon.
