The weather has been very warm so after breakfast we decided we wanted to hit the water. Since we had already been to the LA River recently we chose to head down to Santa Monica instead. Santa Monica is a great little town and the waves were calling our names. That's right, we went body boarding in November.
Me on the right:
So how's your November?
No, really, how's your November?
Someone has to be the whitest guy on the beach:

It was a very nice afternoon. The waves and the weather were excellent. Shortly after we got in the water a school of dolphins showed up and started playing around near us. It was pretty cool. Pelicans were dive-fishing and a sea lion even showed up and played in the surf as well.
There is something peaceful about bobbing around in the ocean. When you land a wave just right and you're gliding towards shore on nothing more than the power of nature you start to realize just how amazing our world is. Even when you're just hanging out waiting for the right wave and watching the wildlife it is very relaxing. I think I would have to say it's impossible not to feel a sense of serenity out there. Sure, you occasionally get smashed by a wave and end up with a mouth full of salt water but even that serves a purpose. It kind of puts you in your place and reminds you to be conscious of your actions.
That is all for now. Even I don't know what tomorrow will bring. So until next time, be well.
