Laguna Weekend

We have made it through half of the weekend. The Saturday "scorcher" is done. I hope there aren't too many sunburns from yesterday!

After reading the post by Corinthia, I began to think about how we (the royal we...as in me, myself and I) tend to forget the wonders that are in our own backyard. Sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes to remind us of it. I haven't spent the time that I would like to watching the sunsets, sitting in front of the waves as they crash on the rocks, strolling along the sand with nowhere in particular to go or of course jumping into the water and frolicking like a child. The childhood wonder of the beach is something that can keep us young and I know that I haven't taken advantage of it in a long time...too long!

While I sit working, I have my friends emailing me about doing a dive (SCUBA) and I haven't even had the time to service my gear. I have 4 or more friends who are instructors, so they seem to be in the water more than out of it. That seems to be a great way to have a reason to swim out and drop down. If you haven't seen the giant fish tank, which most people call the ocean, from within, you are missing one of the wonders of the world. I had always dreamed of going diving and watched the programs on the Discovery Channel, TLC and all the others, but once I went under the first time, I was hooked (pardon the fish pun, it wasn't on purpose). For anyone who has owned a fish tank and obviously fish, the thrill of being in the fish tank is unmatched. You feel worries melt away and become part of something much bigger.

Now, we in Laguna have some of the great local diving around. My friends from other cities make their plans to dive here! There are dive destinations, with their warm water (no wetsuits needed), but they require a large commitment of time and money. We have wonderful waters and sights that rival those and all we have to do is don a wetsuit...no big deal with the right one! If anyone out there wants to learn, I have some of the best instructors as friends!

Enjoy the day out there. I will be hanging out at a open house down in South Laguna...I don't like to plug in here. So if want to visit, let me know and I will give the location.

Well, thanks for reading and if you see me wandering around Laguna in my little grey Subaru, please say hi!
