My turn, I guess.

Jumping right in...
Austin:
+ I haven't been cold ONCE since I got here.
+ Sunrises and sunsets (not that they don't have them in other places, it's just that I've never lived somewhere where I've seen them like this).
+ In LA and NY, everyone is an actor. Here? Everyone is a musician.
+ The most courteous drivers EVER.
+ If you're bored in Austin, it's your own fault.
+ More Asheville than Asheville.
+ Grackles (the Common Grackle, you can google it, for some reason is one of the most fascinating things to me about Austin. James, whom I dragged out of bed one morning at 6:45 to come watch them with me, is slightly less impressed, and apparently, they are considered pests, but I LOVE them).
+ Produce is cheap.
+ There are things in the supermarket that I didn't know existed.
+ My school is, well, a story for another day. I put it in the plus category, just because it's interesting. Not because it's not creepy. And by "it", I mean the compound, the buildings, the view of the prison, the cemeteries. I'll post pictures of it at some point.
+ Topo Chico. You think you've had seltzer? Not even close. It's like happiness elixir, in a bottle.

- I haven't found a veggie burger I like. Not that I haven't found them, and not that they aren't good, it's just that they aren't GREAT.
- Lack of changing fall colors.
- No favorite witch doctors yet. I found one woman who does accupuncture, massage, and chiropractics, and I've been to her twice, but I don't know. I miss the Asheville doctor who cured me of so many ailments using such questionable and unlikely methods. Yeah, I'm talking to you, Dr. Brian.
- We miss people. You all, specifically.

(It's raining here at the moment. It's only rained two other times since I got here. And it's raining HARD. When it started raining today, my class erupted into applause).

I was going to add a brief photo essay, but I can't figure out how to do it. James?
