Ah California, it's good to be back! Here's what I am enjoying most:
Blue sky. I can dry my clothes outdoors even in winter!
Picking oranges from my tree for breakfast- and they're big enough to get full on!
Chipotle. Americanised Mexican food is something I missed so terribly! Oh for a great big burrito with black beans and rice and guacamole that is actually green...
Avocadoes. You know, the ones that are black on the outside and have nice flavourful green deliciousness on the inside. I didn't know there were avocadoes lacking those traits, until they were the only kind of avocado I could find Ireland. Oh great guacamole! It is thee I have come back for!
Spanish. It's on signs, it's in airport announcements, it's in the air. And it's the kind of Spanish I actually understand! (The European Spanish accent takes some getting used to...)
Country music. Twang, cliches and all.
Driving. Driving is fun! You can go wherever you want, (just about) as fast as you want, and you never have to run to flag down your own car! Or share it with people who smell like cigarettes.
Did I mention the blue sky? Sunshine? Because I can't get enough of it right now!
Thanks for being my home, Cali.
