Angel Falls

October 26th, 2008

I thought about falls today. The last time I’ve seen falls was two years ago in Oregon. Falls are beautiful and at the same time especially a person like me who doesn’t know how to dive and swim. The highest waterfalls in the world is Angel Falls. It is three times the size of the Eiffel Tower in France. The falls is named after the American Avaitor, who discovered this falls in 1935, James Crawford Angel. It is 3,212 feet high. The falls is located in Guayana Highlands region of Venezuela. I’d like to see this falls someday. It is very interesting to see nature! See the photo I grabbed from the net.

This is a yatch port. I took this picture on our vacation in Oregon when we went for boating. My father in-law has a boat so it was so great. This is the Columbia River that extends to Canada. Columbia river is the largest and longest river in Pacific northwest region of North America. It is named after the Columbia Rediviva the first ship from western world known to have traveled up the river.

I am back here

October 18th, 2008

I am back here. I haven’t posted anything here for a while. Actually, I just got back from vacation to see my husband’s relatives in Oregon. I had a great time with my in-laws and our friends. The climate there was cooler than San Diego. I didn’t really expect it – even though, I looked up the weather forecast. In other words, I underestimated it. But I brought some warm clothes which helped me a lot.

However, I enjoyed not paying any sales tax there. haha There is no sales tax in Oregon, which is really great! I got spoiled for 10 days. We bought some things there. My husband bought some hard drives for our computer, a GPS, and Orthotic shoes & sandals for me.

We had a great time throughout our vacation. And I will post more later about my vacation, of course, with matching pictures.
