I am now down to 5.5 weeks in Southwest Florida. I've officially lived here two years now and I have a few general observations:
1. It is hot from April 1 - November 1. When I say "hot," I mean 90+ degrees with 90%+ humidity. This is not exaggeration. I will not miss the heat.
2. April 1 - November 1 is what I call "winter" in Southwest Florida. Same premise as Indiana -- when it is cold cold cold, you stay indoors and try to stay warm. In this area of Florida you stay indoors and try to stay cool.
3. The Sun Is No Joke down here. SPF 70 has been my friend. My dermatologist says I have great skin (sunscreen sunscreen + white girl skin that doesn't tan anyway has its benefits).
4. I've had more visitors here than I ever had in Indy. I've really loved that.
5. I've made good friends here and I'm thankful. I will miss them all.
6. I've also been lonelier here than I have ever been -- I've had to learn to enjoy my own company more. In Indy I had a wide circle of friends with something going on constantly -- here I have a few friends and they have limited time.
