5:30am

Good morning! Woke up around 5am and sure enough we were going to the beach in the dark! Ambrose was of course ready in 5 seconds as always when he is going to do anything that have to do with the ocean. I on the other hand thought I was gonna die, soooo damn tired because a mosquito keep biting me all night so did not get enough sleep for 5 am adventures.
I guess winter is coming because the sun did not came up and we drove the 30 minutes to Narrabeen in the dark. The sky just lit up a tiny bit as the boys were walking in to the water as you can see from the last picture. My favorite picture of today I have to say.
The reason why I agreed to join them was to start my day by swimming in the ocean. My uncle always tells me how good it is to swim in cold water, especially salt water. Mixing that with staring your day as the sun goes up. Well, everyone who knows me knows by now surely knows I love these things. But there were some crazy waves and not hot at all at 6 in the morning so I skipped it. I tried to meditate, I mean what better location for that, sunrise in your face, sound of the ocean and nobody around. But I got nothing, it all felt like an effort so I just stopped and sat there.
I don’t know why but oceans just don’t give me that …satisfaction it gives to others. I am much more forest and mountains kind of person. It was fun explaining to Ambrose on the drive home that I don’t see peoples obsession with living by the ocean. He is one of those people.
