first impressions
It's different here.
The temperature changes really sharply in the evenings and the mornings - with darkness comes a breath of cool air. It's nice.
The plants here are different. Motley. There are pines shoulder-to-shoulder with banana trees and stands of yucca. What's strangest about them though is their posture, which speaks of openness and exposure. They are profligate with sunshine - where the plants in New England grow in clumps and copses and dense clusters huddling against one another, here even the conifers open their arms and spread their fingers to the sun. Everything is lacy and transparent here and the branches are festooned with flowers.
IT'S SO BIZARRE
The farmer's market is incredible. I could buy live herbs here that I've NEVER SEEN IN PERSON BEFORE. I could bring home an orange tree.
Moving makes me tense like nothing else and I feel like I don't know any of the people that I know because everything is different here
