The Big and Little Differences

San Antonio is quite different from Phoenix and even Seattle.  Its getting used to the differences that takes some time.  Here are some random thoughts I have today! 

The biggest difference is the weather.  The weather is somewhat different each day.  It could be windy one day, with low humidity, then switch to high humidity with no wind.  It could be completely overcast for a day, or sunny for the day.  I am having a hard time getting used to the humidity.  We are using the air conditioner a lot more than we did in Phoenix.  You can't just open up the windows and cool the house down.   It just doesn't work.  

There are so many bugs here!!!  Ones that creep and crawl.  Ones that fly and everything in between.  The bugs are disgusting, and I really wish they were not here.  Lets just say Mark gets asked to clean up bugs a lot! 

San Antonio really likes to use one name for all its streets!  Its San Pedro!  There is a San Pedro Road, a San Pedro frontage road, and a San Pedro highway.  It is so confusing!  The one thing that I really like about San Antonio is the roads.  We live in an area where there are hills everywhere!  They twist and turn, and go every which way!  It makes it fun to drive! 

Coffee shops are really hard to come by.  Yesterday I drove about 20 minutes checking 3 coffee shops to find one that was not closed down and that had free Wifi!  I was eventually able to find one, but in Seattle, or Phoenix, that would have never been the case!  It seems like people don't really like coffee here. 

Well, that's all for now!  Have a great day!

  1. Thanks for the updates Lindsey. I enjoy reading your comments :) We are also thinking about moving to Texas, so I like that you are "experiencing" it and sharing. We are hoping to make a trip to Corpus Christi this summer. Hope you find some good coffee and oh, a job too.
