When I walked out my front door this morning, bearing a hot cup of Chai tea, it took me less than two minutes to put my feet into the sands of Lover's Point! I watched the waves for a while and considered diving today, but decided against it by the time the cup ran dry. It's okay, because there's plenty else to keep me occupied.
Within a five minute walk from my apartment are the following amenities: local grocer, laundromat, library, beach volleyball court, Natural History Museum, local produce shop, Monarch Butterfly Grove, soccer field, and plenty of interesting little shops. Within a ten minute bike-ride is the magnificent Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Fisherman's Pier. Honestly, that's just the tip of the iceberg, but I think the point is made: This place is awesome! Gabe was right, I am a lucky guy.
I'm in the process of securing a few different jobs, between the diving and whale watching boats(as a deckhand and/or divemaster), and a number of other random places such as Pebble Beach Golf Course and a couple of upscale hotels. My current plan is thus: earn/save money for a trip to Germany next summer, in time for Matthias's wedding. I somehow doubt that I'll be lacking for entertainment in the meantime. I'm just wondering if indeed this is too good to be true...
