This weekend Sophia, DZ and I went down to Monterey. Sophie and DZ were completing a scuba diving class while I relaxed on the shore, explored the town and soaked up some sun. The sky was crystal clear blue, and the weather was gorgeous, although a bit nippy.
We got up early--arrived at the beach by 6:30 and saw this incredible sunrise:

A very confident looking DZ.
Some instruction on shore before taking the plunge.
A dizzy DZ after a day of diving.
A euphoric Sophia after completing two dives.
The beach was pristine. I am grateful to live close to such beauty.
I loved........
Walking along the shoreline;
Gazing at the glistening water;
Feeling the warm coarse sand kiss my toes;
Searching the surf for otters and sea lions;
Having sea spray tingle my face;
Getting a natural pedicure;
Listening to the call of the seagull;
Hearing the rhythmic crashing of the waves;
Finding a creature's recently vacated home;
Plunging my feet into the icy cold water, and
Letting the tide pull the sand away.
Such a marvelous weekend............

It looks like a beautiful day for the ocean dive. Sophie will LOVE the warmer water of Central America. Glad you were able to go
