on the beach

Not content to sit in my hotel room in Dothan on my second day off, I drove two hours south to the gulf coast of Florida. Resting on the warm sand, listening to the waves roll in, I was almost able to ignore the dozen spring breakers who decided to start a football game 10 feet from my towel.

The gulf waters were clear and cool, offering a refreshing interlude between my sessions in the sun. Complaints aside, it's always nice to see the ocean.
