A Different Place

It's been rather different. Staying in the Phoenix area for the past week or so.

The major difference being the heat. :S :S
I think it was over 100 degrees the entire time we were in town.
Which is. HOT.
How can people choose to live in such a hot place?? 
I don't get it.
My cold self recoils at the thought. lol. 

So you can bet that I'm excited to return home where the temperatures should be around 20 degrees cooler.
Only....my state is currently on fire. Again. The valley inundated with smoke. Sooo idk if I actually want to be returning home to that anytime soon. :S 

In any case.
The other major difference would be the mountains/hills in the area.

Because the city has grown so large. That the place has like a dozen and a half different freeway systems to get you places (and the GPS never took us the same way twice it felt like) but the cities...they surrounded these large hills. Like. You'd see these large monoliths of volcanic rock reaching for the heavens. And completely surrounding the thing would be civilications. 
It was weird. Like having it happen once? Okay. Interesting. 
But the valley has tons of these singular mountains/hills that are separated from the main range and they're all surrounded with houses. Many of them have houses on them as well.

It's just...crazy.
To see a city that big.
To see that type of view.

Cool though.
Weird. 
But cool. 

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
