California Countdown: 105 Days Left | π
An Afternoon Feeding Squirrels by the Ocean πΏοΈ I can't believe it... I've officially graduated with my PhD, and now I only have 105 days left in California before I move away. I'm getting so nostalgic already β I'm really going to miss this incredible place! ππ This weekend, I took a drive along the famous Highway 1, and it was absolutely magical! β¨ The road wove in and out of the clouds, creating scenes that looked like they were straight out of a Comics! ππ¨ For the first time, I noticed how stunningly layered the California ocean can be β deep navy blue, bright azure, and the crisp white of the crashing waves. It took my breath away! π The little squirrels by the sea were so friendly and came right up to us looking for snacks! π₯° Luckily, two young boys were selling cookies nearby for $2 a bag, and they said the squirrels could eat them. So of course, I bought a bag and spent the most delightful afternoon feeding them! πͺ Some of the squirrels were super bold β one even put its little paws on my leg, demanding a cookie without any hesitation! π So cheeky! Others were more cautious; they'd grab a cookie and scamper away immediately. And then there were the greedy ones β they stuffed cookies into their cheeks, didn't eat them, but ran off to bury them in secret spots! I wonder if they'll ever be able to find their hidden treasures again? πβοΈπ¨ π Lovers Point Park, Monterey What about you?
