How long is a mile. Yesterday a friend and I were taking a mile walk to the beach in Big Sur. We had just eaten a large brunch at Nepenthe.

The sign said one mile to the beach so we started out, dragging our full tummies with us. The dry hot path through the fields went on forever. We kept saying how long is a mile.

Finally we rounded a bend and there was the Pacific Ocean pounding on the rocky shore. Se sat and watched surfers, waves, a few people eating their picnic lunch. The mile back was a piece of cake.
