I feel the locale I am most at peace is at the shore.
I know that all the people getaway by the ocean for the sun and the sand.
They care about laying out in the warmth of the sun all afternoon long and getting a good tan. I am the polar opposite. During the heat of the afternoon, I spend my time either in the shade of a palm tree studying or in the home with the air conditioner running. I simply do not care for being hot. I get up early so that I can kneel outside, care about my coffee, and take in the view along with the cool ocean breeze that blows. The odor of the air is just heavenly. By late day the air starts to heat up for the afternoon and I retreat back inside. I spend the afternoon puttering around the home and wait for the sun to begin to set. I may take a ride into neighborhood and visit some local shops if they are air conditioned but for the most part I am somewhat of a hermit during the afternoon. Once the sun sets, I take walks on the beach or head back to neighborhood to care about the nightlife. People who getaway at the beach are so much fun to hang out with and talk to. The area vendors stay late so I can always to see them when it is cool and comfortable out. I am grateful that I have the chance to live in such a good locale. I am more grateful that I have an awesome Heating and Air Conditioning system to keep me comfortable during the tepid sunny mornings. Very rarely do I need to have the heat on. During the winter season my associate and I have absolutely mild temperatures. I do have a couple of portable furnaces that I can use in the event it gets too cold in the home but that is a rarity for sure.
