Endless Summer

I wanted to blog today about how I’m feeling a little depressed because it’s the end of my summer vacation. However, I decided to take a different approach this time. I will keep it brief and light.

What would life be without summer? Summer is an amazing time when getting frozen yogurt at 10pm is a must and keeping the windows open to catch the cool ocean breeze is the only A/C in my house. Summer is golden sunny fun, paired with long nights of contemplation when it’s too hot to sleep. Dressed in shots, flip flops and tank tops…..tan shoulders and noses. My tan feet bare a slight resemblance to the tops of my flip flops and soon my feet will scream when I have to put on socks and stick them into a pair of sneakers.

Over the summer, my hot morning tea has been replaced with ice tea and a slice of lemon. There have been only few times I can remember that I last bundled myself up in a sweatshirt; One was in the movie theater in July and it was only due to the mistake of sitting under the A/C that blasted us like an Arctic wind. Two was while I was walking on the cold streets of the Castro District in San Francisco a few weeks ago. You would have thought it was November by the way the SF residents were sporting their knit beanies and fuzzy scarves.

My boyfriend and I decided that SF is no place to be when there is a sunny, warm, and delicious place like Los Angeles to call home during a beautiful summer.

The thing is, summer in LA is a lot like Spring and Fall in LA too....Warm weather, surfing, sandy beach time, Sunday BBQ's, flip flops, and long bike rides. My tan will fade,the water will get cooler, the bike rides will be shorter, and I'll have to keep the windows closed. However, the most delicious thing is I don't have to pack up my bags, load up the car, and say goodbye to this lifestyle. This vacation wonderland...my little grass shack by the sea...is home.
