descending into Cee and witnessing the ocean behind the haze of wildfire smoke was more surreal and powerful than any sight I’ve seen over the past two months. It was hard to comprehend the immensity of the ocean— it was endless and seemed to melt into the sky. It was easy to see why the ancients believed this to be the world’s end— heaven and earth meet before your eyes without interruption here. 14k until the land gives way to ocean.
