1. Cars: My god, I’ve never seen so many accidents in my life. It’s like people say hello by hitting each other with their cars, and they are friendly here.
2. Dogs: everyone has them, I’d like one too.
3. Rain: it happens. In fact, it’s a pretty much guaranteed that there will be a hair-raising thunderstorm roll through at some point in the afternoon.
4. Boats: also, everyone has at least one if not two in their front yard, I’d like one or two as well.
5. Surf: there is none, but what little they have is fun.
6. Water: It’s everywhere and it’s beautiful
7. Bridges: a result of #6, and also everywhere
8. Bugs: comes along with #6
9. Sunshine: wonderful when not #3
10. Humidity: combine #3, #6 and #9 and there you have it.
11. Small, Friendly City: It’s really cool how friendly people are here. I’ve been here only a month now, and I shit you not, you WILL bump into people you know. Pretty cool.
