posting meme: mountains vs ocean

dine prompted: let me know your feelings on mountains vs ocean for vacation spots. or is there something else you prefer?

Ocean, definitely. I haven't actually been to mountains often (I don't do winter sports or anything like that, nor do I climb, though I like moderate hiking), but I love being near the sea. I'm not much of a swimmer nor do I like sunbathing, but walking along shores or cliffs, looking at waves and smelling and hearing the ocean is great. The couple of times I've been on the ocean with ferries and such, I liked that experience too.

Unfortunately I don't live by the sea directly, though I am still in the area of the river estuary that gets significant tides and coastal storm impacts, so the sea is definitely nearer for outings too.

(If you want to prompt me there are still open days.)
