Hot Summer Nights

Meghan left to go back to NY today, and I have one more week here in California.  I can’t believe I’ll have been here for 6 months.  Twice as long as I intended at first!  It’s been super fun here, but I’m definitely excited to go home.

Meghan and I had dinner last night and we were just talking about Montauk and surfing the whole time.  I definitely can’t wait to get back to Long Island for the summer and fall.  It’s a really cool place, and I think that obviously it’s important to me because it’s home.

The thing about surfing on the east end, as opposed to California, is that the surf community is so small.  Everyone knows everyone.  I kind of like that.  I love going to check the surf and seeing people I know.  I love paddling out in Montauk and being with friends.

It’s cool because in Montauk, it’s such a small community that if someone sees you catch a great ride  they’ll compliment you, and even tell their friends, etc.

We might have been looking through rose colored glasses a bit, but the thing about California that I’m not crazy about is that if you just venture out around here in San Diego you’ll likely be surrounded by strangers.  It’s definitely a different vibe.  Now, I’ve come to know familiar faces, especially the Grandview crew, but it’s still kinda different.

Either way, I’m stoked to be going home.  Not sure when I’m going to come back to California though.  Probably October.  Maybe mid-October.  I know I’m not going to want to leave while things are still fun back home.  However, I know I’m coming back to California for sure.  I just don’t think I can live in NY full time.  Well, I will see where life takes me this time!
