Surprise surprise, an early session did not work out..again. It’s so hard to resist the sweet temptation of a couple more hours of sleep in a cozy bed. Especially when that bed is going away in a couple of hours and we’re back to the tent. Not that we don’t love the tent, but let’s call a spade a spade. We had an easy, slow morning followed by some cruising and surf board shopping for Niko. We checked out a couple of mid afternoon surf spots before settling on the pristine waves of pleasure point. It’s hard to beat and this afternoon was no exception. We had a nice little short session, for once, before heading back to San Marcos for some more tacos and a modello. Ahhh, the sweet satisfaction of life on the road. It’s never more apparent than after a long ish day, salt in the hair and in the eyes, a cold beer in hand and a warm belly. This is living, we think. Why can’t it always be this way? Why does life have to be divided into these moments and 9-5 moments? I wish it could be more blended than it is, but maybe we’ll find a way. For now, I sit on the yeti at the new Brighton state beach where we are camping for the next few nights and revel in this moment. For there is only now, only
