A Trip to the Beach

It's spring, and you want to go to the beach to sit for a while.

Look north along the coast.


Look south along the coast.


Look out over the Atlantic itself, and imagine Africa over there somewhere.

Go ahead an let that cold Atlantic water wash up around your feet and ankles. It's still cold yet, but it'll be warm enough to swim in without hypothermia soon.

But for now, get the feel of it rushing around your ankles as it sweeps back into the ocean.
