The Day Water loved me!

In the Last spring break, I went with my friends on a road trip to California, It was unforgettable week. We Drove from Austin to Lubbock and spent the night there. The second day we passed  New Mexico and spent the night at a nice hotel in Flagstaff Arizona. We were planning on going to the grand canyon the next morning, however, we woke up the next morning and surprise!

Not only the whole city was covered with snow, but also North Arizona was going to face, according to the forecast, snowstorms for 3 consecutive days !
Wow! wait a minute, what do you mean Snowstorms ? We, Saudis, only know  ONE kind of storms and nothing else!

Anyway, We canceled the grand canyon and headed to Las Vegas and from there we drove to California and exactly to the wonderful area of Big Sur.

 

We had an amazing time there, between beaches and national parks and spectacular views. After two days we went to L.A and a new kind of fun was about to start.  More details about Big Sur and the rest of the road trip will be in one of my next posts.
WAIT, I feel like I have missed something! oh yes of course, what does the title has to do with this road trip? Let me tell you! 

The only possible explanation for what happened to me in the first day at Big Sur is that water had fallen 

IN LOVE with me! I guess it was love at first sight! It kept hugging me every time we get close to each other without even asking for my approval. Going back to the story, because the water was really cold in Big Sur, we agreed not to see and enjoy the views instead of swimming. After 5 miles from the hotel, we stopped at this piece-of-heaven beach.amazed by the sound of the waves, I tuned to call my friends, giving  the ocean my back.

Out of a sudden, a huge wave of a freezing  water HIT me. A seconds later, the air was filled with laugther from the people around me!
We had to drove back to the hotel to change my clothes. Getting tired from the beach, we decided to hike in the Big Sur National Park. We arrived there, got ready and started the mysterious journey. 

  Toward the end, My friend Aziz and I decided to challenge ourselves and tried to cross the river by walking on very-slippery rocks. Aziz was filming the whole time. After he successfully reached the other end, he pointed the camera toward me and kept waiting for me  to  pass the last and most dangerous part. 

 Once I started to do that, my foot SLIPPED and the next thing I knew, I'm being hugged by the water again, but this time in more aggressive way, that almost got me killed. My friend caught all that on tape and he still refusing to handle it to me!

 

Here is a screenshot of one of the first moments of the epic fall (notice the little black flying thing on the top of picture!)
