Moving from the 3rd largest city in the US to the 2nd largest, I expected that I would be getting more of a lot of things. More traffic, more smog, more people, more money (earned and spent), more sunshine, more professional basketball teams, more celebrities, more homeless people, and well, you get the picture. One thing I was not expecting more of was nature. I was actually expecting to move to a larger city and get less nature to account for the more of everything else. LA has pleasantly surprised me by being a place that is FULL of natural beauty and outdoorsy activities. Who knew?
