Mile Rock Beach, San Francisco
I haven't been posting many of our adventures lately because I've been focused on practicing a new art form which I am very excited and somewhat nervous about debuting soon! I hope the time I've diverted to learning this new art form helps me express and share my California Travel experiences in a richer, more immersive format. That said, I've missed my photography and writing and felt compelled to take a break so that I could share a glimpse of our current life at home,
After spending a few weekends down in Santa Cruz, chasing surf with a group of friends, which by the way, if you have not driven down Highway 1 from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, I highly recommend, Chris and I decided to stay close to home for the weekend, eating brunch at nearby Chomp N Swig, then heading down to the beach to enjoy the rare San Francisco Sun.
Sitting on the beach, I reminisced with Chris about years before when I lived in a tiny attic apartment down in Foster City. Single and barely out of college, I was just trying to make ends meet as I gained experience in my career. I missed the Florida sun and Gulf Cost water. I remember discovering a man made lake in the subdivision where I was living and feeling so lucky that I finally lived near water again! Now looking back on that time in my life, I am incredibly fortunate to live walking distance from this wild beach. Never in a million years did I think this would come true.
.I'm most grateful that I get to spend time here with my loving husband, Chris.
The waves at Mile Rock beach are so awe inspiring to watch. I always feel innately energized after gazing upon them during walks along this coastline. The sets will come in periodically with such thunderous force that your entire body shutters. It's a swift reminder of the over arching power and apathetic nature, of Nature herself.
Nature and the Universe are marvelous and mysterious things. apparently I just happen to have caught them both on a very good days.
