I was vaguely weirded out when the bus to long-term parking pulled in front of the international terminal, because when I looked at the front, all metal rods and glass walls, with large lettering proclaiming "San Francisco International Airport," I thought, "Oh good, I'm home."

Ohio is nice, and I had a good time there, all things considering, but something about the East Coast will just never feel quite right to me, I suppose.

Anyhow, I'm back ^_^.

*blink* Ohio's not the East Coast. But I do know what you mean about sense of place -- when I get back to New York, even the air feels different. And when I was up visiting Montreal it was a lovely city, but I was very aware that it wasn't and would never be mine.

Though oddly, San Francisco always feels like it could be a home,even though I've never lived there. I think I orient towards certain things -- near water, liberal and funky attitude, not too slick, old buildings (by American standards). I always wondered if New Orleans would feel like that too.

Yeah, but it feels much more like the East Coast to me, probably because of the vegetation and climate and whatnot. And time zone wise. And building-wise. I dunno, it's odd, but it feels like an entirely different country! I missed California mightily when I was there.

I adore cities and places and finding out what a place feels like.
