Eventually, all good things must come to an end. Tomorrow classes begin and the week of beaches, hiking, and irresponsibility has come to an abrupt end. Very sad.
Today, as most days have been, was incredible. Taking off from Sumner Beach, a group of us fine gentlemen decided to take on Taylor's Mistake, a hike through the steep cliffs in the surrounding hills.
Needless to say, while it was all extremely beautiful, not all parts were for the faint of heart. Or, namely, me. Realizing a fear of heights is made all the more difficult when it is done when facing sheer rock faces opening up onto jagged rocks hundreds of feet below. But... no big deal, really.
However, the group persevered, and was soon rewarded with discovering yet another gorgeous beach and another breathtaking view.
Making our way back from the beach, we managed to stop (for the second time) at a perfect location for cliff jumping. About 40 feet high, it took the four of us roughly 10 minutes to work up the nerve to take the initial plunge. After that was out of the way, however, we couldn't help but leap several more times.
Hunger soon crept into our minds, meaning the wonderful day finally had to come to a close.
Will there be more days like today? Of course. But they will not be able to be had at whim. Academics come first. Obviously.
No, really.
But when the sun is shining this weekend, it will be hard not to make the trek out there again.
I mean... does it get any better than this?
