I consider myself to be very much a land mammal: given my propensity toward motion sickness, the very idea of being on a boat renders me slightly queasy. Furthermore, I am not just a land mammal, but am -- after twenty-four years in the southwest -- very much a desert land mammal.
That being said: I look at Cherished Friend's pictures of the waves and the shoreline, the sea birds and the beach sand, and Oceanside is so painfully beautiful that I feel a tremendous sadness not to witness it in person. To smell the salt water and feel the ocean breeze and hear the birds and the waves: how glorious that must be.
