For a few months I lived in the Bay Area, about 15 minutes away from San Francisco. It was so beautiful. I would go biking around the slough in the early morning to capture the sunrise over the water in the bay. We would occasionally take day trips to the beach next to the ocean, and that was also a wonderful experience. We couldn't afford to stay there, though, so we had to move back to a dry, landlocked state. I wanted to go back for such a long time. Sometimes I still want to go back.

Most people think of the beach as being a luxury they can't afford, or don't deserve, because everybody wants it in their heart of hearts. Human civilizations first grew around wherever there was a body of water, which means that humans do best closest to water. So it makes sense that living on the beach is our most common fantasy. If you ask somebody, "What would you do if you had all the money you could ever dream of and do anything you want?", most people say that they either want to travel the world or live on a beach, or both.
