being here is like we traveled back in time, weather wise. the flowers are just bloomed and so fragrant and strong they're like perfume. everything is green. patches of wildflowers are nonexistent one day and shouting in color the next.

it's weird hearing about how sweltering it is in nyc. ny has always been cooler than where i lived. i couldn't label a single day since moving here as sweltering. the temperature here is perfect. i need to find out where the temperature is like this year round and move there. eventually.

the air is humid but cool. not sticky, but soft and wet, like a low whistle instead of a pant. the sea is only 55 degrees so the breeze crossing over it brings a cool softness.

the fog is almost daily, along with the low, deep ship horns and seagulls screaming. the fog is weird, almost like a smoke. it lingers in some pockets and not in others around the city, which i have yet to figure out.
