No amount of pictures, can do California any justice,
beauty and tranquility, can never be represented in a picture,
this trip is exactly what I needed, finally my waters have calmed,
and I can venture out into open sea, as I look for my next port.
The weather is perfectly warm, the surroundings are kind to the eyes,
the tender noises, are everything you do not hear in the Big Apple,
now I may be a New Yorker at heart, but I am enjoying Cali,
the sweet aroma it produces, and natures alarm clock at 9am.
Sure I will take photos, and try my best to show its awe,
I still will not be able to show, how calm it can make a man,
I have 9 days left here, and I will make the best of this time,
because I fear how I will feel, when I return to the City.
sounds like you are on vaca in Calif. I lived there myself for two years back in the 80s and I too am from NY originaly. California has it's plus and minuses like anything else but the mtn areas are really nice. The freeways are definitely an adventure!
