As I move between Taiwan and Ohio, I find so much kindness in both places, and often courtesy the junior set, so I know what you mean.

I don’t think I was back home in SF for a full month before we got our house in Point Reyes, a house with fruit trees, many berries, and space to grow flowers and vegetables. It’s when I started my blog, which was actually my husband’s idea, and “our” blog, about our kitchen garden, in the beginning. It’s a long story, but we only stayed for a year. Similar to your antique store experience, it was fun, and it wasn’t. Love and berries. I think I’ll want the same.
