"alright now, you can go wild but don't go destroying [stuff]."


In Cape St. Francis there are two main beaches. What we call Long Beach is the sandy, chill beach where a certain duo of vet students can be found diving into the waves and sunning on the sand during periods of down time. Then there is The Wild Side. (Cue an unnecessary amount of cheesy jokes streaming out of my mouth having something to do with “walking on the wild side,” “going wild” and so on. Sometimes I wonder why I have friends. Michaelle is good enough to tolerate me though.) So yesterday with Andrew Bird providing my soundtrack and with the excitement of a child, I went to explore The Wild Side. It’s basically a rocky, cliffy beach with waves pounding on the boulders- the power of the waves is just indescribable though. As I rock-hopped along the cliffs, I couldn’t help but be filled with utter wonder of the power and majesty of Nature. And my soul was just sooooo HAPPY. I decided that the next day I would have to come back with Michaelle so that we could be like little rock-hoppers together. So we went back today and oh, it was a WILD time!! Waves crashing, ocean water spraying, souls soaring… incredible. Definitely one of our favorite spots. I feel like we could go back every day and explore new areas. There are so many nooks and crannies and little canals carved out by the water- it’s like an unending mystery. We both love being close with Nature, and Nature is definitely making her presence known over on The Wild Side.
