Woke up in another lifetime It's a shame it's just not right now Dreamin' of the coast of Carolina...
This song ("Coast of Carolina" by Telekinesis) is so fitting as I am desperately missing the beaches of the east coast, particularly those in North Carolina. I was surprised to discover that the Pacific ocean doesn't seem to have the same affect on me as the Atlantic. Perhaps it is the landscape surrounding the water: wider, flatter beaches, small crowded apartments or townhouses with malls close to the water...or monstrous houses with clear railings that seem perched either on a mountain or overtop of the water itself. Like everything in Los Angeles, the beach is built for luxury and a lot of people.
Gone are the little neighborhoods of moderate sized family homes with front porches complete with attached swings and rocking chairs. Also, dear Charlottesville, I miss driving the fifteen minutes it took to get to your rolling hills and quaint country stores. Although there are many places to drive here in LA, none of them are very green or scarcely populated. So, here's to nostalgic picture revisiting. Some of the Outerbanks from earlier this year, South Carolina last year, and a few of dear Charlottesville.
