MY CONNECTIONS AND OPINIONS:
I liked learning about this state because it has some interesting facts I never thought would be from Oregon.
The most interesting fact I've learnt was that the national bird is similar to the one I'm named after in my home language.
I would really like to visit this state because it seems like a fun place to travel to, like the Portland Japanese Garden, and the Silver Falls State Park.
