Well, everyone has different opinions on climates of certain places including where they live. To me, sometimes the Texas climate here is VERY annoying during the summer with its humid sweltering heat that frequently gets above 100°, or in the winter with the high windchill factors (which makes it feel like it's below freezing outside when the temperature is actually in the 40's), like it is now.
I went to Arizona for the first time at the Tucson wash-in last year, and I have to say, I fell in love with the Spring climate there. Relatively cool during the day, and it drops a little at night. PERFECT wash-in weather, or perfect weather period! As for the summer, I would much rather have a dry heat than a Texas summer, which is why I plan on living in the Southwest. Although from what Ross told me, last summer it was abnormally humid, so go figure.
As for the geography, I have to say it is breathtaking, even on the flight up there were some interesting formations (which were shown in the video). Sure, it may be nothing but brown, but that's the beauty of it...no grass or yard to maintain. Driving around in the city, there were MANY spectacular rock formations and varying elevations. The neighborhood where Ross lives is perched high up and has an outstanding view.
So to those of you who are bantering about not liking the city, you can stay home on the weekend of March 23rd while the rest of us who are there for the WASHERS and don't care about such petty things as the climate enjoy the festivites thanks to our generous hosts...it's that simple!
