desert?

Daily writing prompt
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

From those choices, mountains. I live on the beach. In fact, I can see the “bay” from my porch. But during my time here, I think I have been to the beach once. So maybe the mountains are more my thing?!

Why the mountains? Because they are not the beach? Or, it would be a change for me. Hermits often live in the mountains.

Perhaps a third option is the desert. Yes, it can be hot and very cold, but the isolation! And no one would visit. Is it NBN ready?

Any thoughts?
