Yeah. It wasn't really that far from where I lived - a few hours by car, I guess? But I never got to go. I had work, or school, or no car and no reason.

[And honestly, he didn't think about it that much. It looked cool in movies and TV shows, but nothing worth going so far out of his way for. Now he's reconsidering that, because this - the immensity of it, the far horizon, the blue water - is actually a little overwhelming.]

It's... kind of intense. Makes me wonder what's down there.
