You Can Go Home Again ....

If you do make the trip you might realize how much you've changed though. In fact, I thought I should jot out two important realizations that I learned about us from our recent trip to New Hampshire.

First, we're most suited to urban settings.

I don't know how this happened to a kid from Sunapee. Even when staying down in Manchester NH, with its mall, I kept noticing how rural things were. Cars are an absolute necessity in order to survive. Even in the big city, the bus system doesn't run on Sundays.

In addition, I don't like cold weather anymore.

The locals were saying it had been quite warm through the end of January. The temperature during our week there averaged about negative 15C. About 10 inches of snow fell in southern NH. I like access to occasional winter, but have definitely been spoiled by the years away from New England. I'd hate to live where the winters are real.

I grew up in Sunapee, NH but winter there wouldn't seem to suit me now.
