When you flew into SF, you said, "I'm home." was that because you felt at-home in San Francisco, or was it because it was sinking in, slowly but surely???
Am curious 'cause I've run into people who say that they've visited places and have a felt an immediate connection with the place, the people, the culture, etc. I have yet to encounter that myself...and to be honest, I don't know that it happens to everyone. I know that my family is home to me - (li'l tidbit re: me... I was feeling really homesick...thought it was MD and YET was fine when my folks and brothers were visiting me out here. It ain't the city...I'm your example of "home is where the heart is".) But it wouldn't be a horrible thing to find a connection with the city I'm living in, either.
