Those Rowdy Pacific Waves

I’m not always good at catching the sunrise, mostly because I stay up too late reading or writing or spending time in whatever happens to occupy my mind aside from relaxing. The best sunrise I ever caught was last year in the South Dakota Badlands, one of the best traveling experiences of my life. But I’ve rarely had any trouble finding or catching the sunset. On this, my last day in California for the foreseeable future–I can’t think of many reasons to come back ahead of a dozen other major trips we still want to take–it was important to me that I visit the ocean and watch these rowdy, Pacific waves beat up on the coast, just ahead of the sun. It’s worth noting that I almost lost my phone in the ocean when the waves crashed higher than expected as I was wading along the rocks and trying to take pictures. #stillworthit
