Yay, ocean.
I have now been in the water of two oceans. Previously I had only ever been in the Pacific. Now I have also been in the Atlantic. It really weirds me out that you can, like, swim in it. I kept clinging to lysimache and being terrified that at any minute there would be horrible undertow sweeping us out, because what else is an ocean supposed to do? But I think I got less terrified, and it was fun. Also the water was freezing cold, because of the rain yesterday. By "freezing" I mean, like, 60. :P
Also I think the water is a different color in addition to being all calm, and the sun doesn't set over the ocean like it ought to -- it was strange eating dinner around sunset with Jen and m_shell and her sister, because the sun wasn't where it should be. Also also, the sand is whiter and less coarse and sticks to you more easily. I'm not used to sand sticking unless my skin is wet. And there are little bitey things. And the seagulls look different.
But yay, ocean. And also we bought fudge and pizza and played Skee-Ball. A day well spent, I say.
