My Favorite Place

Hello Everyone,
   It’s hard to choose just one place as a favorite but I would have to say the beach.  Living in California we have a distinct advantage of such an amazing coastline unlike anywhere else. We are fortunate in this area to live within a short distance to several beaches. I lived in Santa Barbara for a little more than a year and the beaches were within walking distance.  I grew quite spoiled to say the least.  I find that the sound of the waves calming, even on the most stressful days. Taking the time to enjoy the sun and the sand puts everything into perspective and provides a unique sense of  tranquility.
 However, if relaxing at the beach isn't your cup of tea, it also offers several activities including hiking, surfing or sea kayaking to name a few. I personally would highly recommend taking a guided tour through sea caves.  It's definitely an adventure worth having! I hope you enjoy your next trip to the beach whether it be to relax or explore!

  1. Hi, Rhiannon,

    Wow, I also really love the sound of the crashing waves of the ocean. It's therapeutic! When I moved here in California three and a half years ago, I lived in Oxnard. There was a beach nearby, around 15 minutes drive, and I really wanted to spend more time there. But unfortunately, I didn't know how to drive then. I bet you miss being in Santa Barbara!

    Thank you for sharing!

    Cheers,
    Regina

Literary Analysis Week 6

     Josiah Royce wrote about the early settlements of California and the atmosphere within the built up cities. He speaks of the structure of businesses and working men within these cities. What drives them, their vices, their motivations and their downfalls. We get a glimpse into the lives of early California settlers and the San Francisco area before it became the area we know and love today.      John Muir writes more about the landscapes and the beauty of untouched nature. Lands that have been previously undiscovered like Yosemite Valley. His many journeys throughout the country undoubtedly left their mark, but the Sierras also left their mark on him. He says the Sierras should be known as the “mountains of light.” He says that every rock in Yosemite seemed to glow. His connection to nature clearly drove him to continue exploring so that he may appreciate more of the lands untouched by men.      George Sterling also seemed connected wi...

Week 8 Reading and Writing

     I still find navigating through all the different sites a little frustrating because different pieces of information are all in different places. A lot of the bigger projects or assignments don’t sync with Canvas and show on the “to-do” list so it takes some extra work to keep everything organized and finish on time. Having the extra credit available is helpful.  English has always been my strongest subject yet I seem to be struggling with this subject the most this semester.      Just staying organized will help with the rest of the semester as well as taking advantage of any and all extra credit available to make up for missing assignments or missed opportunities.
