Sitting in the Splash Zone of Life











Day 5:

*Our final day in San Diego:

During an afternoon stroll down the streets of San Diego toward Pacific Beach, Paul decided to tell a story about Sea World (at the time we were hiking along Sea World Drive and had just passed the big Sea World roller coaster--just to paint the scene). When Paul was young, he visited Sea World and simply loved the live marine animal shows, particularly with Shamu, the killer whale, and the dolphin show. What he remembers most is all the little kids going nuts just to sit in the splash zone--the place where the dolphins splash or spit water on the crowd: "The excitement they had, just to be splashed with water." What Paul was talking about was the splash zone--the splash zone of life.
