I’ve only been abroad one time, and there were little gecko/lizard things everywhere, climbing up walls and scurrying across roads, and nobody cared. I was constantly fascinated but to the locals they’re just kinda there.
Bonus question to anyone who visited the UK - was there anything that fascinated you but I’d be taking for granted?
Pic unrelated.
In Southern California it’s got to be the palm trees. Nope, not the ocean, the beaches, the Hollywood sign, iconic neighborhoods and buildings. It’s the palm trees. Out of state relatives and coworkers always gawk at and comment on the palm tree lined streets.
Dude, they’re frickin’ tall. Those Southern California trees are something else.
I was also fascinated by your beach-squirrels. I’ve lived near the ocean most of my life and I never saw beach-squirrels til I went to Ventura.
They’re the most worthless trees and they’re about to die, too. I hope we replace them with native trees in all but the most iconic places.
