A Similar View to Home's

To close out these series of posts, I want to show you a picture of the Pacific Ocean. I've never seen it from the American side until that moment. Although not technically true, it felt like I was standing at the edge of my country. Despite an expanse of water, I felt a little more confined. Freedom of movement--only within four time zones. It was a humbling experience.

I walked in just far enough to say that I've been in the ocean. I'm not a big fan of the ocean. I much prefer the Great Lakes--less sea weed and nasty critters. So now that I can say that I've lived in the Gulf, swam in the Atlantic, sailed the Great Lakes, and stood in the Pacific. I'm not done with this world just yet...
