Every night around 7:30pm all of the people in our town come out to mingle and walk their dogs.
Everyone knows that this is the time for socializing and it is really cool.
We didn’t have so much of this where I lived in the states. You would have to jump in your car, turn on the air conditioning, and drive for 20 minutes to get to the beach where you might see someone you recognize. Here, it’s like going outside in my child neighborhood where I would see all of my friends. A lot of the local businesses are closed at that time and the people who work there go to the beach to hang out. It’s a nice family feeling and you can just cruise around on your bike or skateboard to go down the paseo that runs along the beach of the town. You don’t need to worry about air conditioning because the weather is the perfect temperature. In the winter time it can get quite cold though, so you need to really bundle up or you will freeze. I like to warm up in my flat with my space heater during the winter before I go out for the sunset cruise. In the mornings I go for my ice water swim but then I am home within five or so minutes to warm up in hot water in my tub and then sit in front of my furnace while I work. I have a good life here, all that is missing is my family and old friends. That’s what planes are for.
