heat wave.

...although this is probably normal for Santa Monica, i am experience a heat wave in my insides. it's incredible. this is going to keep me going til vancouver summer summer time. the air is hot, the sun is out, the sweat is dripping. AMAZING.

this morning, miche and i went for a scramble up the Santa Monica hills, and for some reason we thought that 11.00 am start was "early." not so. we were dripping with glorious salty sweat within minutes and frequently took breaks in the bits of shade to catch our breathe. conversation ceased. after a couple of lovely views of the beach and city, we decided to call it, and headed back down into the welcoming shade of some vast tree. ate yummy sandwiches and lay around for a couple of hours. that is what this trip has been all about. lying at the beach, lying in a park, lying in another park, lying on the couch. what a life!

we hopped into the hot hot car, with the steering wheel almost unbearable to touch, and hit the beach for a quick dunk in the ocean. salty sea on salty skin, bringing the body temperature back to bearable. beauty time.

i am back at the library, alas without camera, and who knows about adding pics from a public computer? it will have to wait until i return home later this week.

now, i am going to venture out into the heat to check out the wicked thrift stores and get a cool beverage, while miche is at work.

until later. xo
