I do love living in the Pacific Northwest. Especially Portland. Nothing against Seattle, but people here are quite nice (except, of course, at a few select restaurants).

They have nothing on us…

I recently had the chance to visit Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia. I had a wonderful time, and everyone in those places was warm, friendly, and hospitable. Especially in Charleston (where I spent more time and did more dining).

I guess it is a bit of a tourist destination–I had no idea–and every place we went we were greeted by welcoming, friendly faces. I found myself thinking that it was nice and all, but I was quick to remember so is Portland!

It was also nice to be in a place where people are different than me, think differently than I do, have different ideas of what is important.

Nice to get out of my bubble
