One of the perks of sea level travel is that your food arrives hot to the table and remains hot for an extended period of time. You are not subjected to cold food within a minute of receiving it as you can be in the mile high city. And your coffee is hot without having to nuke it again! You can leave that mug and return a minute later to a still-hot serving. Amazing.
That’s just one of the advantages of visiting a lower altitude city. And if you are lucky to have some humidity with your visit, your skin feels so much better and your nose doesn’t run non-stop desperately trying to hydrate in the desert air.
Oh – along with the seasons I can also appreciate the various climate designations. I shall be returning soon to the mounds of pine needles to be raked and leaves to be mowed under. That’s just fine. Some of these things remind me to look ahead and prepare for life’s changes.
