Watching the lightning off the mountains. This has been an amazing and stressful week. We all are still in an adjustment period. The peace and quiet here is calming. It is actually raining here right now, lightly. The sky is overcast so we cannot see any stars. I bet less than ten percent of the condos in this complex are occupied right now. Actually it might be even less than that. The thunder rumbles go on for five seconds. Dylan and I saw a bunny this morning, and some funny looking birds with tiny crests on their heads. I have to look up what they were.
I won't say that we miss the city too much, but I think that we are experiencing some culture shock. We went to get dinner tonight and the only places to eat are either chain restaurants like Applebees or other places that seem like they are trying to be chain restaurants. Not really finding any quaint little privately owned places like we are used to. The prices are definitely right though. We got a caesar salad for $12 which easily fed both of us and was good -with blackened chicken :)
The driving is relatively easy. Big, well paved roads. Everyone seems to tailgate though, it is kind of the norm to hang out a couple feet from the car in front of you. Doesn't seem too safe. There was an accident on one of the highways the day we arrived and they literally closed down the highway. We got stuck in terrible traffic as everyone merged to get off a one lane exit.
I am sweating out here on the patio and it is midnight. Time to get some sleep. Here is a picture of Dylan, happy as a clam :)
