Right now, the Cape, soaking up sunshine, etc. As a rule, traveling, speaking Spanish, scenic walks, movies, eating out (at secret, ethnic, hole-in-the-wall restaurants), spending quality time with friends and family, discussing politics and social issues...
Once I tried to move to move to Florida to be closer to my family. I found the women there to be really into diets and plastic surgery, and botox. The men were really into cheap beer and football and plastic women. They said things like "I don't read" and "I'm not interested in politics." These are not the people I want to meet!!!(I also don't want to meet creepy strangers who are looking for casual sex. Or those weird people with fake model photos.)
