This morning my walking friend and I went on a peaceful walk at the beach. She had been on a cruise this past week ... to Puerto Vallarta and back. They were able to make it to Puerto Vallarta and start home just a couple of days before the hurricane struck. It was nice to have my walking buddy back and we enjoyed walking in the sand with the waves lapping at our feet, again. Here's a view of Laguna Beach, where we walk.

I wish everyone had a beautiful place to walk ... a beach, a forest or even a gorgeous park.

I am glad she got back before the hurricane, too. I'm sure the waves could have gotten pretty bad if they had lingered near Puerto Vallarta too long.

Wow, walking in the sand! I love doing that with my husband but we can only do that during summertime. Beaches are far from my place so we only visit once or twice a year.

I am glad that you get to go once or twice a year. Many people do not even get to go that often.

That's a beautiful beach you have out there. Did you have to drive down there or is it a walking distance? We have several beaches close by but we need to take a ride there. It takes about 30 minutes

We have to drive, but it is only about 10 minutes. We live four miles from the beach. We can't quite see it from our house (there are hills in the way).

She was lucky to escape the hurricane, this would have surely spoiled her cruise.

Yes, I am sure the hurricane would have spoiled everything! They got out of there just in time!

It is an exceptional beach and, best of all, it is very uncrowded most of the year.

Your beach sure is prettier than ours, we lack water. Lovely picture, it's been decades since I've been to the ocean.

I must have been unclear, sorry @DeborahDiane we have beaches that lack water.

@rebelann - Ha Ha! That makes more sense, then! Guess you have to drive to the Gulf Coast to see water!

I have been through El Paso, and even stayed overnight there, many times. I don't remember any water there at all! What did I miss?

That beach looks very beautiful. All I see on my walk is a bunch of houses.

Oh, it was a friend who went to Puerto Vallarta. However, I do get to walk at the beach above almost every day. Very nice.

I miss walking on the beach. It was part of my routine when I lived in Santa Barbara. The sound of the waves was relaxing to me.

The beach reminds of the former beach in Panama that translated means River In The Sea. The beach which is located in San Carlos is now closed since it is now a housing area for the residents.

@Deepizzaguy - That photo is of the main beach in the town of Laguna Beach. I would love to see the beach in Panama, if it looks similar. That would be fabulous!

She was very lucky she was not stuck there and did not get in the way of the hurricane. I am glad for you that she made it home safe and sound and you had your walking buddy back with you.

The nice thing about Laguna Beach is that tourists are only around in July and August. The rest of the year it is just a sleepy little town next to a gorgeous beach.

@DeborahDiane That is indeed a plus. I would love to be able to walk on the beach each morning.

I love beach walking but it's always a challenge to find the sand that's not too soft to walk on.

@DeborahDiane I agree but it is better when the tide is going our rather than coming in.

Oh, that's interesting! Usually, the sand is fairly solid along the edge of the water. That is my favorite place to walk.
