I have never been much of a beach person. The sand, water, and thousands of people have never been appealing to me. When my family and extended family informed me of this trip (although relieved to get out of calculus class) I was not very enthused for the excursion. But my mind was changed this night. When I was sitting in the moonlight with nobody in sight, no sounds except the ocean and the shutter of my camera. I realized how amazing the ocean was. A force of nature, powerful and beautiful.
