The World at Large

I just got back from the beach and I know realize how sweet it is to be going to school in Wilmington North Carolina.  For the first time all semester I have been to the beach when the weather was nice, except for one day in the beginning of February.  The beach is an incredible place, and people go their entire lives without seeing the ocean.  I can't even imagine what that would be like.  I have also met many people who have never seen snow, a bit different than never having seen the beach, but another crazy thing to me.  I personally grew up going to the beach in the summer an dto the mountains in the winter.  If only you could live in a place where you can get the best of both worlds.  There is such a place, in New Zealand you can snowboard in the morning and go surfing that afternoon.  That would be a dream come true for me, my cousin spent several months last summer and fall in New Zealand and the pictures he took were mind blowing.  It makes me wonder what is out there, and how much is still yet to be discovered, we live in a world full of mystery and phenomenon, and I can't wait to get out there and explore.
