Whale Watching was rejuvenating

The sky was crystal clear, the ocean swells between 4 - 6 feet. I took Dramamine, which helped insure I didn't get sick.

Saw Gray Whales. Large lumbering creatures with, it seems, all the time in the world. Saw pods of dolphins as well. They are playful, fun creatures.

I was completely removed from my normal world. I loved it! When I got back on shore, I felt so good. When I got home, I felt like I was walking into a new place. This is the kind of experience I need to have more often. This is what I look for in a vacation or an event - the kind of feeling when I'm at peace with myself and the world. It doesn't last long but it leaves a huge impression on me. My imagination perks up and I just feel generally better.

No depression that day.
