Sunset Cliffs: A Solitary Farewell to San Diego

📍 Location: Ladera St, San Diego, CA 92107 Last Day in SD: A Sea Lover's Pilgrimage On my final evening (Feb 11), I carved out time for Sunset Cliffs—where the Pacific whispers to those who listen. As a coastal native, I’ve learned: 🌊 The ocean is my circadian rhythm—its absence in Hangzhou’s West Lake or New York’s Finger Lakes leaves me homesick for tides. 🌅 This cliffside walk healed what that lake-bound summer in Huzhou (my only saltless season in China) had frayed. Nostalgia with Every Wave "If only life stayed like first encounters," we sigh—yet who’d truly rewrite their past? The cliffs, eroding daily, know better. Post-Sunset Detours 🍜 Dinner: Met a Zhejiang-Shantou alum for spicy crab hotpot (SD’s best kept secret) 🧋 3Cat Tea: Purported best Chinese boba in America—having abstained from Stateside奶茶 till now, I’ll endorse the hype. ✈️ Red-Eye Epilogue: Newark layover at dawn: traded SoCal’s golden shores for NY’s frozen tarmacs Found solace in a terminal sunrise—nature’s consolation prize #SunsetCliffs #OceanTherapy #SanDiegoSunset #CoastalNostalgia
