2. As a transplant from one of the neatest places in the country to live

(Vermont), I love many things about California.

The diversity of people and landscape.
The Pacific Ocean
Redwood trees
Mule deer
Yosemite
San Francisco
The Santa Cruz mountains
Santa Cruz, Capitola, all the cool, funky beach communities
Friendly people
WINE!
Incredible weather
Classic cars
Artichokes
The amazing array of plant and animal life
Acceptance of people's lifestyles
That hunky Californian I live with

I feel very fortunate to call two of the coolest places in the country home - the Bay Area and Vermont.

9. YES THE FOOD! The huge variety of food here is great

one can taste food from all over the world here in California
One can experience many different cultures here, too.

California has the most amazingly diverse landscapes and peoples anywhere.

I happen to really love it here.

I wouldn't move back east for anything!
