Back in S.A.
Posted by: curiousillusion on: October 4, 2009
So when I left San Antonio, I thought I was gone for good. I said goodbye to my friends there with a feeling that I wouldn’t really see them again. And since two of my friends have families, I figured I wouldn’t really hear from them… one of them was pretty bad at returning phone [...]
Oregon pics
Posted by: curiousillusion on: August 17, 2009
A little late but I figured it was about time. I took a LOT of pictures but the majority are not blog-worthy (or really blog-appropriate) because they are mainly snapshots of relatives. So here are my pictures that AREN’T of relatives.
Some of the pretty roses from the Rose Garden in Portland. These ones were [...]
Last day in Oregon
Posted by: curiousillusion on: August 10, 2009
Today is my last day in Oregon. More picture opportunities – wr went to see the waterfall near Silverton, I think called Silver Falls. A bit of a hike (cute trainer would be proud, I think), but it let you go behind the waterfall, which was a first for me. I took a few pics [...]
Oregon continued

And the trip continues… Saturday we went shopping for my cousin and some last minute wedding things, then a big family dinner, followed by drinks with all the cousins. It was fun and I have a lot of pictures.
Today was the big day, my cousin’s wedding. I wasn’t the bridesmaid or anything but I [...]
Oregon, day 2… Rose Garden
Posted by: curiousillusion on: August 8, 2009
[note: I typed this up on Friday and spent 5 hours trying to submit this - this house gets no cell phone reception. So I'm posting it late anyways, since it's caused me so much grief!]
Today was day 2 and it was a little less busy. I didn’t get to sleep in, unfortunately, and [...]
Welcome to Oregon
Posted by: curiousillusion on: August 7, 2009
Well I’m writing this Oregon time shortly before midnight – I have survived my first day in here. So far I have been out to lunch with relatives I haven’t seen in ages, walked up a steep part of some mountain (in ballet flats and a skirt, no less!), and spent too much money outlet [...]
Say goodbye to the summer..
Posted by: curiousillusion on: August 4, 2009
Okay well technically summer the *season* is still around, judging by the 100+ degree heat. But my summer, my last days of freedom are here. Actually… today might almost be considered my last day of freedom.
You see, my cousin gets in tonight – he’s only here until Thursday and then we fly to Oregon [...]
Randomness, randomness, everywhere
Posted by: curiousillusion on: July 29, 2009
Today makes 3 months that I’ve been blogging. This is post #101. I’ve had a blast blogging, I love it and I love getting to know so many other bloggers… y’all are so much fun. However, I’ve been blogging daily for the past 3 months and I think that in order to not completely wear [...]
Travel Plans?
Posted by: curiousillusion on: May 13, 2009
So travel has been on my mind a lot lately… not sure why. Okay maybe I do know why, I was re-reading Eat, Pray, Love over the weekend and, as you may or may not know, the memoir discusses the author’s year spent in Italy, India and Indonesia. I’d like to visit [...]
