Man it felt good to soak my face with salt water today. I’ve gotten used to my once or twice a week bike rides to Torre del Mar and riding along the boardwalk. The view and the feeling of the sand, the ocean, the sun, the wind, the city and the mountains is amazing, but it was something that I got used to just looking at. It’s like a snow globe, you’re on the outside looking in and what you’re looking at is untouchable; the beach became something that I just looked at rather than getting off of my bike, digging my feet in the sand and soaking my hands in the water.
Today I decided to break the routine and walk along the beach. I went up to the water, put my hands in and splashed my face a couple of times. For some reason it was so refreshing, it felt so good. It felt like I had reached a goal or something, I don’t know why. When I stood up and looked around, the beach looked as if it went on for miles and miles, and then it meets the city in one direction and meets the mountains in the other direction. I couldn’t help but take pictures.
These bike rides have become therapy. Friday and Saturday it rained like cats and dogs, it was the most and longest it has rained since I have been here so it was somewhat depressing. Today when I woke up and saw that the sky was clear and the sun was shining I immediately felt the urge to get out and soak it all up, which is exactly what I did. Me, myself and my bike.
