Hiking

January 14, 2010 Another field trip: Parson's Landing

The walk is incredible, as is the beach. Unfortunately, this place is quite a drive from school. But we passed by many small coves along the way. I'm still getting used to the whole island thing. It's incredible how much I've accepted suburban/almost-city life. I've always wondered back home what it must have been like before people came to Washington and paved roads and built a million houses. The landscape here is very different, of course, but it's amazing to see how untouched it is. The red windy road can barely accommodate two vehicles (only one at some points). There aren't power lines everywhere, and as we traveled along to our drop-off point, we essentially never lost sight of the ocean. The ocean is so beautiful. The first time I visited Catalina I was so enchanted by the clear green and blue color. I've never been to Hawaii, but I imagine it must be like this, except my experience will be much longer and so much better.
