Day 222: Gorge

We spent the morning hanging out with the guys next to us who are from Washington, from "the other side of the Mountains," (the Cascade Mountains). It was great to learn more about people from Washington and have him learn about the South; he has always wanted to visit the East Coast and, "see what its like on the other side of the country." Its crazy to think about it, learning what its like on the other side of the country, but thats why I am here... there's a lot to learn and many differences.

Later that night, we headed to the concert. There are two main reasons why I am here: I never never seen Dave Matthews live, and I have always wanted to see a concert at the Gorge. The Gorge is an amazingly beautiful music venue that sits right next to the Columbus River with the deep river gorge surrounding the venue; the general admissions seats are on a massive hill that overlooks the Gorge.

At night you can experience two almost completely different concerts at once. You can either lay down and stare at the almost perfect display of stars or you can stand up, allowing the music and the lights take over your body. A good night with great music and amazing surroundings.
