I'm not very familiar with your part of the world so I particularly like the gorgeous photos.

Nice little write up! I'm a native San Diegan so whenever I go to Seaside it's an odd experience. I'm used to seeing palm trees, not Fir and Pine next to the beach. It's a lot more wild.

Lovely pictures Hoang, makes me wanna go and visit those places myself. Recently, I was in Malcesine, a tiny town on the shores of Lake Garda, and I simply loved hanging out at the local bars overlooking the lake. We had lunch and then indulged in a few glasses of wine at sunset. So magical!

We have traveled the coast of Oregon--and you captured it beautifully, the food, the feeling. I really relate to the statement about the sense of sameness yet difference as well. Living in a California beach town, I love the open, less populated coastal towns of Oregon. A particular favorite that I wrote about in June 2020 is Bandon. Its sculptural rocks are unlike any I’ve ever seen--and the pizza isn’t bad either! Bon voyage, Hoang!
