Discovery Series – Oregon

I’ve reviewed the smaller version of the Discovery Series – Oregon mug earlier, you can see that post here. In addition to Oregon’s rocky coast, duck, blackberries, mushrooms, and Bigfoot that we saw in the design of the ornament, these are the symbols and landmarks specific to the bigger mug:

I am really excited now as Starbucks has released new mini – Oregon You Are Here Ornament. This is definitely a nice looking one, at least to my tasting.
