I came up to Laguna Beach for the day. Woke up at 6, worked on some school stuff until 9, hopped into the shower, had breakfast, and ran out the door around 10. It took us a little less than three hours (we took PCH for most of the trip and there were a few pit stops for potty breaks).
On the drive, my friend Dan and I, got extremely existential talking about the perpetual rolling in and out of waves, the long way the sun rays have traveled to reach us and still have the ability of feeling very warm, the fact that we all begin a a single cell and that cell splits into two, and those cells divide into again, etc until you end up with trillions of super-specialized cells all working together to make us "us". Crazy, isn't it? Everything seems just so perfect for life-- all the right elements were in place just at the right time. But all this comes from chaos (more on this later-- I have a lot to say when it comes to the creationism vs. Darwinism debate, one which stems from a similar ideas. I will say, however, that I am a firm believer in evolution). Granted it took millions of years (evolution is slow, doh!). Anyway, I do not pretend to be an expert in the field, but I do find it interesting and will continue to look into it.
Well, I'm off to enjoy the sandy beaches of Laguna. Pictures to come!
