Beach Trip

1900-2200

The coast in a small town who’s name I cannot recall at Cannon Beach

This evening I went to the coast. A group of about 15 of us all caravanned to the beach. Sadly when we got there the sun had just set. So we were only able to see the residual sunlight. Although everything was still illuminated in brilliant reds and oranges. Which was especially glorious because there was a gigantic rock towering over us just barley in the ocean where the waves broke. So the contrast between the ending sunset, huge rock, and the ocean. Sadly, we then went to eat and ended up on a 45-minute trek searching for human food. After a meal of dank Mexican food we decided to walk back to the cars for about a mile and a half along the beach. By then it was later into the night and the beach was pitch dark except for the whitecaps of the waves and the dim light of people’s houses. At first the sand was freezing especially below the surface, but if you were to walk above on the firmer sand near the water it was only cold upon your feet. The best part of the beach experience was the stars above. These were the most stars I had ever seen at a beach, since we were in the middle of redneck Oregon, which was not that, develops compared to California. Anyway we walked for about 40 minutes enveloped in this beauty. I also decided to frolic in the water for a short while, it was COLD! Not like northern California cold like death. I feel like death is something cold. But it was fun to test the waters so to speak. So although the rest of our going to the coast experience was a borderline fiasco the walk along the beach made the whole experience worth it!
