Bye-bye Beach

Hanging out on the beach for the last eight days has been pretty sweet. Instead of riding our bikes we played football, kayaked, did some yoga and what may be considered calisthenics. The calisthenics consisted of racing each other between two lawn chairs, pushing our rental car out of the desert(The sand was deeper than I thought) and attempting back flips. We didn’t look any better playing football either. Somehow it turned into left handed football and trust me, we looked ridiculous. The ocean kayaking was probably the only form of exercise we didn’t look ridiculous doing. We headed out into the big waves and then rode them back in. Last night we went way out into the darkness until we could barely see the lights of shore and just floated. It was really cool! We heard what we think was a whale blowing water out of it’s blow hole and saw some dolphins zip past us. The best part was the phosphorescents. Thousands and thousands of tiny little bright green glowing dots littered the ocean as deep as you could see and every time you stirred the water they lit up even more. It was like ground effects for your kayak. Now it’s time to head back inland and say goodbye to the ocean for another year or so.
