My Little Trip

My father took me to Santa Monica Beach today in California, where I sat for about an hour from one of the seatings at a restaurant right in front of the beach, and enjoyed my view.With a pen and paper in my hand, I started writing down everything I was seeing, feeling, smelling, touching, and hearing. It was about 4:30p.m. and the sun had started going down into the sunset. I saw a half blue, half orange beautiful sky and a bright yellow sun that looked like it was sinking into the salty, blue ocean. The ocean was shimmering from the reflections from the sun. There were many people I was able to see and hear. Some walking on the beach down below and some were talking around me. May conversations were going on from the people sitting next to me. One group of girls were talking about Facebook instead of enjoying the beautiful scenery. Then I heard a man saying the words, "Are you ready to order, ma'am?" 15 minutes later I was able to smell the delicious smell of margarita pizza along with the salty smell of the sea. Putting down my pencil, I grabbed a slice of the thick pizza by the crispy crust and let it enter my mouth. The taste of tomato, garlic, and basil made my senses tingle. It was a beautiful scenery, beautiful dinner, and a beautiful day.
Going to the beach always makes me happy. Watching and hearing the waves crash into the sand always calms me down, helps me forget about my worries, and takes me into my own world. By writing down everything I experienced, I was able to enjoy it more. It opened my eyes. We do not appreciate the beauty of the Earth as much as we should. I never thought watching the ocean would calm me down as much as it did. Nature: IT'S BEAUTIFUL! We should really take the time to actually see it instead of just looking at it.
