Entry #2- Traveling

Traveling is a different experience for everyone. Some people travel spontaneously and others plan their entire trip.

Since I was born and raised in Arizona, traveling has always been such a fun and exciting experience. Normally I don't get the opportunity to travel as much as I would like, but when I do I take complete advantage of it!

Recently, I visited Newport Beach in California, and it was so peaceful. Beaches always have this calming feeling that makes you feel relaxed. The smell of the beach is one of my favorites. It has this clean sense of smell mixed with a bit of salt and fish. Most people don’t enjoy it considering fish is a very strong smell.

The feeling of the sand is warm and soft. When you sink into it while walking across the beach you get buried in the warm sand with the mixture of the refreshing water.

Who knew that dirty ocean water could feel so good!

Of course all tourists and Arizonians take advantage of the California weather, I know I sure did!

As I walked around the beach there was this shed surrounded by seagulls. When I got a closer view the seagulls were actually eating a piece of bread someone had thrown for them.

Being the visual person I am, I also realized that the seagulls like to fly purposely over people’s heads. It’s like they enjoy being closer to the ground as they fly, they tend to get really close to the point where they could fly into you.

Birds in general are strange!

Here’s a photo from the beach:

Traveling is definitely one of the best things to do whether its a place near or far!
