Not even 10 a.m., and the sun was hiding in a gloomy haze. In spite of this, the heat was punishing already. The past month had been frustrating and exhausting on many occasions, but we had always managed to go for a sunset surf. This was going to be the first day of many more to come that I would not see the ocean. Read the rest of this entry »
