I live in a suburb of the San Fransisco Bay Area. I was born and raised here, then lived in Honolulu, HI for a year and a half and still miss it, that place is great. When I left HI imoved to Portland OR which I also loved (especially the waterfalls and the gorge) even though it rained alot, i didnt mind . I like California but its been so hot and its still very hot! I am in the Tri-Valley which is one of the hottest spots in the area, seems like the heat just settles right here in our town!
