THE FIRST DAY I SAW THE OCEAN


The very first time I saw the ocean I felt apprehensive, astonished and shocked. I kept my mouth opened for several hours. After that my feelings are the same, but I would like to see it again.

I remembered that day. I was going from my town to Jalisco. We had to pass over a mountain, and we stopped at the hill. Suddenly there was the ocean!. It was a lot a feet down the mountain, very blue ,moving back and forth. I never saw the end. It was very foggy. At that time my heart started to beat faster. Thump!Thump!
My hands turned yellow and cold,I stopped breathing for a while, and my mind started to imagine horrible things like tsunamis.


I still don't understand why I am afraid of water!

The ocean is a very powerful force of nature. I always love to stand before it and when I do, I feel so small, but in a good way.
I like the part where you wrote "Thump, Thump"
