Here's 10 things about my visit back home, stay tuned for a full trip recap!
* Lightning bugs! AZ doesn't have any that I have seen, well really just bugs in general for the most part
* The Green-ness of the tree lined streets. AZ has palm trees for the most part lining the streets so the green is up high. Tree lined streets are nice
* Geese! I guess there aren't bodies of water all over AZ like there are in IL. A.drama and I went shopping and the little ponds were full of Geese! I've noticed ducks in AZ but not geese. {Correction: I saw geese today, so I guess you just don't see as many here?}
* Road kill. I saw more roadkill animals on the side of the road in one day than I have the whole time I've been in AZ.
* The character of the houses. Houses in Illinois just all have a unique look to them, I think it's the siding that gives them that look. AZ houses all have stucco and look the same for the most part.
* Bugs! IL has so many bugs, A.Drama's windshield was covered. Of course AZ has bugs but they are out in numbers. (which I'm glad of!)
* 2 lane interstates. Amature hour, I'm used to 3/4/5 lanes of traffic... my how my commute has changed.
* Combine tractor jams. I don't miss the highway being clogged with tractors and being unable to pass for miles.
*Humidity! My glasses would fog up every time I got out of the car or left the house... no thanks!
* Cell service. I don't have to worry about dropped calls here in AZ. I was riding home with A.drama and remembered as the call was dropping out that there is a spot on the way home that I always have my calls dropped. Do not miss that one bit!
Like I said, stop back later for my whole trip recap!
i never thought about the road kill. i wonder if it's bc IL is so broke, they can't afford to have it picked up right away, or if the critters just stay out of the city? probably both.
