Today I went on the spurt of the moment to Spring Lake, NJ to visit with my good friend Dimi. She was not home when I arrived and so I decided to go to the beach and walk on their famous boardwalk which I remembered well from the summer. Today all was different. The wind blew from the North and hit my face with great force and I had to labor against its force. The ocean was completely white capped into the far distance and the most incredible waves collapsed over and over rolling in from all the way out, spilling over the jetties non-stop until they disappeared for a moment before hitting the beach. The boardwalk was windblown and layered with beach sand and, of course, there was not a single person idly walking around. After 15-20 minutes I had enough also, but the beauty and wildness is still in my mind, and I guess this was the best part of the day!
