Beaching my mind

My mind is beginning to accept that I live near the beach. Heretofore, my brain had a hardwired "beach == vacation" association. Slowly this is breaking down. I've always loved the beach -- sand castles, beach chairs, strolling the shore, you name it. Now I fall asleep listening to the waves roll in.


Will I be able to *not* live near the beach ever again?


Encinitas is definitely surfer-friendly. Instead of the usual pedestrian crossing signs, you'll likely see one of these:

I really like the contrast of the beach access walkway at night compared to the beach access walkway during the day you had a few posts ago. It creates a kind of vista of your new environment.

I wonder if you will ever be able to go back to not living at the beach. Some of us city (well suburb) dwellers are jealous.

I am enjoying seeing my town thru your (new) eyes.

Have you been to VG's donuts yet?

I have been to VG's Donuts. Tragically, I arrived too late in the day; no donuts were available. I shall now make a return visit a priority.

I stumbled upon this and Geez, 'Steiner, I can see you embracing the whole California lifestyle - hair color aside, you seem made for it. Lap it up!

once again, localsincebirth is right on the money! VG donuts one of the highlights of my trip to Encinitas! I may have to set up an account there. Mom
