I'm from Balboa, CA at the tip of the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach (down by The Wedge - the body surfing nirvana)
As a road musician all these years, I've found that wherever I've gone the people who live there call it "God's Country." They can't imagine how anyone could possibly live anywhere else. I think that's sorta nice.
As for me, I'd have a real hard time in a place where I couldn't get to an ocean real fast. I sorta like the edge of the country.
Seeing the sunrise out of the Atlantic was great when I lived in Savannah yrs ago, but I'm partial to that Pacific as the sun hits the horizon and the clouds are sprayed with leftover sunlight.
So many folks aren't aware of the beauty going on around them - all for the taking. Sad. I guess, when I give it a ponder, everyone's right. They do all live in God's Country.
Just give me an ocean.
