West Coast Reality

After our workout during tri-class, I joined the group for stretching. Without at first realizing it, I looked up and saw I was leaning on a palm tree during my hamstring stretch. I looked over the track and to the ocean and thought, wow. My reality is going to change very abruptly and very quickly.
Palm trees and the ocean will soon be replaced by pine trees and snow. Which pairing will seem the most exotic? And how will that change in a year or two?
