The sun feels so much closer up here...

Day 3:

So, we drove north about 75 minutes or so, and I thought for sure we were at a higher elevation! The sun seemed so much hotter and closer up there! But, after just looking it up, I was actually 400 feet or so below where I started from. Huh.

Things I saw:

1. In a neighborhood with very few people home, there was this girl. The streets were quiet and no other children were around. It was a bit creepy and it reminded me of the girl in The Ring, except this girl had a pink polka dot umbrella, sheltering her from the sun. She was standing on the sidewalk about 4 houses away on the other side of the street, long brown hair. She just waves at me. I wave and say hi. She says hi back. We continue walking our ways. Kind of weird and random. Picture to visualize.

Photoshopped the umbrella in, but you get the idea. Minus the sidewalk, and the road, and the houses, but you get the idea.

2. Knocked for an hour and only spoke to 2 homeowners.

3. Annoyed at the homes where I know someone’s inside because I’ve heard them, or actually saw them through their window, and they choose not to answer. Possible explanation for insight #2.

4. A home with a Corvette in the driveway, parked mis-aligned with the garage and an elderly Hispanic woman opens. She says no one is home. I wonder if that’s actually her corvette in the driveway. If it was the homeowner’s I’m thinking it would be parked in the garage, or at least aligned with the triple car garage doors to allow room for the other cars. Interesting. But I would like to have seen her driving it, nonetheless.

You can tell she’s at least thinking about it…
