Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Beach Bum's Life For Me

Listening to: the heater humming
Reading: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Tom Stoppard)

Day #21:
"A photo of something that makes you happy."

No, not seagulls... THE COAST!

The Oregon coast to be specific.  I just love it there!  I took this picture at Lincoln City, one of my favorite destinations.  All that sand, all that water... the coast is on my top three best spots on earth.  I've been thinking about the coast for a while, and today I had a briny feeling in my stomach, the same feeling I get when I can smell the ocean but just can't see it yet through all of the trees...  sweet and salty anticipation!

Not only does Lincoln City have beautiful, though somewhat chilly, beaches, it's only a stone throw away from Newport, which houses the aquarium, the wax museum, and an epic walrus hang out.  Then, there's the glass blowing studios!  Once a year the glass blowers and the town send glass bulbs out into the ocean for people to find when they wash up on the beaches. 

So there you have it!  I'm going to live on the coast one day.  I have a feeling it would be hard to feel angry or anxious about anything... except maybe the odd typhoon or two.
