I am a creature of the East, and haven’t traveled beyond certain North Eastern boundaries much in my adulthood - budget/priorities/open access to Martha’s Vineyard keeping me in my nook.  LA feels like a different planet, the Pacific smells like an entirely different kind of ocean.  Reading remembered bits of Joan Didion to myself, I thought about water constantly.

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of looking at palm trees.
