I missed the rain... beleive it or not i really missed it. I went from the capitol of the northwest rain forest, astoria or, to the dry desolate waste of colorado. My face felt like it was constantly about to fall off from the lack of any sort of water in the air. I found out that astoria gets more rain in one day than parts of colorado get all year. isnt that sad? i never thought that i would miss the dark gloomy skys and the constant falling of the rain. But i did.
