Every time I watch the sun disappear into Pacific Ocean in Pismo Beach, I am reminded of one evening about 7 years ago when we used to boogie board at this very location. Until this day, I still remember one amazing moment I had when I boogie boarded for the first time in Pacific Ocean. So after riding my first wave, I was hanging on my board in the ocean enjoying the very blue color and quietness of the ocean. The set could not have been more perfect - a gorgeous sunset in a distance and a full moon slowly arising from the ocean on the other side. I just sat there for a while feeling good after riding my first wave. And all of sudden I saw a dolphin coming up from the water next to me. The dolphin was unbelievably close, I could have touched it easily if I wanted to. But I was so mesmerized by its present that I just floated on my board cherishing every second and enjoying the beautiful creature while a few arms away a group of young dolphins playing freely. I can't believe it; I am swimming with dolphins in the beautiful pacific ocean on the gorgeous sunset!
Well, I am no longer boogie boarding; there is no safe place to do it in my neighborhood. Pismo Beach is no longer less than 10 minute drive from where we live. But, now and then we come to this place watching sunset - just like a couple of nights ago - or getting a bowl of clam chawder soup or just passing by on our way up north to the Bay area.
