Every time I entertain thoughts about moving away from San Diego, I go down my list of things I would miss, things that keep me here. But honestly there's only ONE that I really don't know if I could do without.
La plage (the beach)!
Not just any beach...if I couldn't go to Mission Beach or Pacific Beach or Ocean Beach for many many years or ever again, I think I'd be okay. But La Jolla, specifically La Jolla Cove, I don't know if I could be happy being any farther away from than I am right now.
For me, it doesn't matter WHAT is going wrong...just being there is a cure for anything.
And when 5 people are stuck in the house together, huddled around the air conditioner, and it's getting hotter and hotter by the hour and you can't take it anymore..... the only thing to do to get some relief is go. to. the beach! Asap.
Which is the situation we found ourselves in on the Saturday of 4th of July weekend. I didn't really want to go to the beach at all that weekend, because everyone else in San Diego would be there, but it was too hot to stay inland. It was our only option.
So we went and it was so pretty and the water was icy and the sand was soft and there weren't a hundred people there and clouds rolled in and we forgot all about the scorching temps back home.
The only un-fun part was when it was time to go home. :(
But we will be back again and again and again.
My favorite place on earth!!!
What on earth do people in non-coastal places do when it gets hot like that? Pools and sprinklers are great but it's not the same.
