In the far distance, a vaguely defined copse of trees stood apart and above the others, and those were Californian palm trees. It wasn\u2019t until I was embarrassingly old\u2014maybe 11 or 12\u2014that I asked one of my parents and they explained that those trees were pine, like all the others, and only perhaps 10 miles away.

I stood and looked out over the hills and I let myself believe 100% that I was looking into that eternal, tropical distance I\u2019d always imagined, and at the next moment I knew 100% that I was wrong.
