To be a little cliche right off the bat, my most favorite place is with my best friends. I could be at the edge of a volcano and as long as my friends were there and we were having a good time, I probably wouldn't mind the fact that my skin was melting off. Okay so that's not completely true, I'd mind a little bit. An actual place that I could consider to be my favorite would be at a beach in Santa Barbra, California.

I just love being able to walk around in the sand and being able to find some cool random rocks or sea creatures! I love the sound of the water and the wind and sometimes the people and I love being out in the sun so it all just creates the perfect place for me! I also like walking along and finding hole in the wall sea food restaurants (more like little sea food shacks sometimes but you get the idea) that will pop up here and there. That's where you can get some of the tastiest seafood dishes ever!
Oh, I am such a fan of Santa Barbara too, Sage, and the whole west coast! I went to a conference once in UC Santa Barbara, and they actually had hooks on the back wall of the classrooms where people could hang their SURFBOARDS during class... before they headed back to the beach. How amazing is that??? Definitely not something you see in Norman!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I will wait and see what stories come to life in your blog this semester. I hope you will enjoy the epics... there are some beautiful coastlines in India too, and some great stories about the sea god Varuna; you'll see him tangling with our hero Rama in the Ramayana when Rama decides to build a bridge from India to the island of Lanka, helped by his monkey friends. Here's the god Varuna at Wikipedia if you want a sneak peek: Varuna :-)
