2. Favourite meal The turkey sandwich at Big Sur (really yummy, fresh whole wheat bread), or the Frikedeller sandwich in Solvang (just yummy!)
3. Favourite restaurant Mel's Diner - how can I not choose that?!
4. Favourite travel song The song of the wind in my ears. I didn't hear much else. Or Tom Cochrane's "Life is a Highway" which we heard at Outback Steakhouse on our last night... Can't remember the last time I heard that song before that.
5. Funniest memory Cartwheels on the beach
6. Favourite memory Bumper cars and Guitar Hero at the arcade in Seaside. And meeting Ian's family.
7. Favourite scenic vista I'm not sure if this really counts as it's actually not a scenic vista, we were driving when I took this picture behind us. But it is my favourite picture of the scenery!
8. Favourite tourist trap I'm torn between Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, or Seaside, Oregon... I might have to go with Fisherman's Wharf on this one, although Seaside was so unexpected!
9. Best drink A glass of house Chardonnay at lunch with Sue.
10. Favourite purchase My sea otter socks, which I have yet to wear...
11. Worst room The place at Gold Beach. It was decorated sort of cute, with a lighthosue theme, but it needed some maintenance desparately.
12. Best shower The place where I told Ian to take a picture of the shower head because I want to find it... I think it was the Ramada in Sacramento? Sooooo excellent! A massaging shower head that actually worked!
13. Worst memory The drive between Santa Barbara and Sacramento. It was just unbearably hot.
14. Something you learned Okay, let me think on this one. I learned a lot of things but I'm trying to think of something that would interest any one else to know. Like the Astoria bridge is the longest in North America. Or Alcatraz was a lighthouse and military base before it was a prison. W. R. Hearst travelled around Europe with his mom when he was 10 and that's where he got many of his ideas for Heast Castle. The architect in charge of building Hearst Castle was a woman named Julia Morgan. That's awesome. She was also responsible for repairing the Fairmont Hotel after the 1906 Earthquake and Fire.

15. Place you'd most like to return to San Francisco, and to see Ian's family again!
16. Favourite picture Well since I already shared my favourite scenic picture I'll pick something else... I just like the warm golden colours in this one.
17. Most frightening moment Driving over the Astoria bridge. Toooo long for me!
18. Place you'd most like to live Here actually, thank you very much :D It's good to be home.
19. One thing you wish you'd done Bungee jump. No, just kidding, I wouldn't do that. I wish we'd had time to do some hiking. I really wanted to go to Mt. St. Helens too. And next time we go I think I should learn to surf!
20. Favourite quote "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco" I think we heard this a few times... hehe
