San Clemente V

Wednesday, September 19, 2007 9:30PM - After work today I kayaked at a different beach in San Clemente, and went out quite a ways to a small island. You can see this rock/island with the naked eye, and it's pretty small, but I didn't realize until I got up close that it was a sea lion haven.. Those little suckers were all over it.

Afterwards I studied some theology on the beach while the sun set. My last night here and I coincidentally finished the book of the Bible I'd been studying for a while now - Hosea - which is a story about a man who God commands to marry a woman they both know will be unfaithful, in order to symbolize his country's (Israel) unfaithfulness to God. A bit of a harsh story but one I found that hit pretty dang close to home.

I then cooked an incredible salmon, grilled onions, and drank the red wine Caleb and Aley left for me.

I am in fact very sad to leave here. However, if I never would have forced myself to come this far, I would have missed out on so many experiences.. So I figure I owe it to myself to continue experiencing new things, and San Clemente will always be here if I want/need to come back, so I move forward tomorrow with a slightly heavy heart. Enclosed are some more sunset pics on my last day here -
