BALBOA BAY
for the longest time, i wanted to live by the water.
i thought it would be romantic and peaceful since
i love falling asleep to the sound of the waves lapping onto the shore.
but, now that i'm older--and wiser!--i realize that that dream is not something that I can pursue.
as much as i love the water, i never learned to swim!!
so, when there's a storm, it's high tide, and the water rises to a dangerous level,
and i can't get out, i will probably end up drowning...
so, best to play it safe and just visit the water when it's calm and then leave to go home to safer and higher ground...
BUT, it sure is pretty, isn't it????
