Yesterday was one of the hottest day of this yet comfortable summer, perfect to pay homage to Rockaway Beach. The Atlantic Ocean was murky and not too inviting, especially after being spoiled by the pristine beauty of the Great Ocean Road beaches, on the other side of the planet. Yet the ocean breeze was soothing, and the boardwalk inviting, even if unfortunately partially destroyed by Sandy fury. And the glorious sunset A train ride...at the tunes of the Ramones' song.
