  8. The early-morning mistdissolves. And the sun shineson the Pacific. You stand likeBalboa the Conquistadore.On the cliff top. Among the last ofthe Monterey Cypress trees.The old whaler's hut is abandoned now.But whales still swim through the wild waves.Sea otters float on the calmer waters.Cracking abalone shells on their chests.Humming birds take nectar from the red hibiscus.Pelicans splash lazily in the surf.Wander down a winding path. Onto gentle sands.Ocean crystal clear. Sea anemones. Turquoise waters.Total immersion. Ecstasy.
