For the last day of community service, we chose to pick up trash along the beach in Oceanside near the pier. It was an absolutely lovely day even if picking up litter is not so. Unfortunately, taking public transportation caused a much later arrival time so there was not too much time before stomachs became empty. Since we were right by the pier, finding food was easy and we were able to eat quickly and get back down to the beach for some down time and swimming. Although it was quite cold, it was easy to get used to the temperature. There was this section right by the shore where there were piles of rocks. It was very tricky to maneuver over to get to the point where swimming and jumping would not scrape your feet. A peer of mine and I walked all along the water attempting to find the best spot to enter, but of course the best spot was where we were originally. |
