things I will miss: The Ocean

Since I have now entered into the second half of my study abroad semester, I've begun to notice all the things I am going to miss a lot when I return to Rochester. I mean, it's not really Rochester's fault, seeing as Rochester isn't the most attractive or interesting place or anything.

So, today's post will be about how I am going to miss the ocean. I love watching the waves and feeling the sand between my toes. I also thoroughly enjoy the lack stench (ever been to Lake Ontario?). 

Also, beaches are key points to see people playing with their dogs, like throwing a ball and the dog fetches it. Also, the dogs here are really well trained. It is fun to watch owners motion at their dogs and the dogs come running. Oh, New Zealand.

Alrighty then, here are my pics in no particular order:

I'm the shadow that is mostly cut off

Here's a mediocre picture of people playing with their dogs. I felt like such a creeper, but it was such a happy sight, I still felt compelled to snap a shot.

 

Looking back from the beach from a top a lovely lava flow (I know its a lava flow, because I had a field trip of the Dunedin Volcano on Saturday!).

Looking down the beach. I guess this picture doesn't really require a caption... but let's just be consistent.

And, no I'm not actually in this picture. From left to right, Jen, Margot, and Jenny. Jen is my flatmate and Margo and Jenny live in my complex.
