sea lions and late night partiers

rolled into santa cruz around 10 pm and found myself a nice spot, overlooking the water, in a parking spot on the cliffs. i've slept there before and know there are signs against such overnight action but took to it anyways. there were a couple other campers there - like actual camper vans and a truck with a camper on it but they left before midnight which is when they want you outta there by. no parking between midnight and 5 am...fuck it. they left, i stayed. i really like the sound of the waves at night as they crash into the shore - how very earthy of me - and the sea lions as they don't seem to take a break from barking all night...it was the drunk frat kids at 2:30 am that woke me. and as much as i couldn't give a shit, part of me was concerned i'd have to get out of the car to call the cops and then help in finding them once they fell over the cliff and down to the water...luckily i was able to go back to sleep after they took off.
i woke at 5:30 am but was able to snooze a little more finally getting up at 7 am...i seem to have gone from 100 degrees to less than 60. it's clearing up now but i am relieved to not have to deal with that heat...maybe only 80 today...
i went for a walk along the cliffs and watched some surfing for a while...that looks like a good time i have to say. not long from now i'll be sitting down to a burrito i have never seen before and a place i've never gone to before...exciting. right now it's coffee and walking around...
more later...
