Thanks :) The move has been a completely natural, seamless transition to me. I dno't feel homesick at all; on the contrary, it is a relief knowing that I won't have to plow snow and drive scary,snowy country roads anytime in the near future. And I was extremely lucky to find a job so soon after arriving; my NY deli experience, helped me land a deli job that's above minimum wage and virtually full-time.

It IS odd though... not experiencing the season-changings. No leaves seem to be changing here (and of course, the succulent cacti plants outside haven't changed.) Haha, a local market has a Fake pumpkin patch set up for kids to pickup pumpkins out of! I LOLed at that.

But if sacrificing fall and spring, means no snow, I am fine. It will rain alot here in winter, and maybe get down into the 40s, but that is fine with me.

Nice pics! As you already know, I used to live in Pacifica - at Esplanade & Manor, which is about 1/4 mile from those pictures. When I lived there Esplanade beach was still open from both ends, and I was disappointed to recently discover the closures. We knew that was inevitable, though, considering my apartment house was on the verge of being condemned (due to the mudslides)... and that was nearly 6 years ago! Anyway, thanks for sharing the pictures, and I'm glad to see the move went so well. :)

Yeah, you'd better get used to that - LOL. Especially living in Pacifica, where they only have one season - FOGGY! :D Fyi, most of the trees here keep their leaves all year, since they are... ummmmmmm... evergreen trees. (I had to look that up, hehe)

Oh boy, do we have pumpkins if you like them... just go to Half Moon Bay, about 15-20 minutes south, and you'll see hundreds of REAL pumpkin patches. :gj: My (2 year-old) niece had a blast there last year!

I did the pacific coast highway trip I'll tell you I loved it I wanna live in Cali too. Its freakin beautiful over there.

Yup! I have noticed though; in the past week.. every day has been sunny for the most part. It is sunny right now! So the seasons are backwad here, I hear? (generally.. not like we have real seasons, hehe.) I like the fog and the coolness; it is me :)
