Diary #8 I went to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve Today, I went to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. This natural reserve is to the north of San Diego downtown. The view of the beach and the cliff was spectacular. The contrast of the vast ocean which seems to extend to forever and the cliff which seems to approach us was great. I walked the shore for about 30 minutes and hiked up the hill. I thought the trait is not so long. However, after I went up the top of the hill, I noticed that the hiking trait was really long. Finally, I made it, but I got super tired. It was a good exercise for me, though. When I will go to the beach next time, I want to swim or try to surf.

Diary #8 I went to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

Today, I went to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. This natural reserve is to the north of downtown San Diego downtown. The view of the beach and the cliff was spectacular. The contrast of the vast ocean, which seems to extend to forever, and the cliff, which seems to approach us, was great. I walked along the shore for about 30 minutes and hiked up the hill. I thought the trail is not so long. However, after I went up the top of the hill, I noticed that the hiking trail was really long. Finally, I made it, but I got super tired. It was a good exercise for me, though. When I will go to the beach next time, I want to swim or try to surf.



Notes:

We put subdivisions in front of the place that they are a subdivision of. Examples: "downtown San Diego", "upstate New York", "eastside LA".

The commas are called "parenthetical commas". We surround a group of words with parenthetical commas if that group of words is not necessary for the sentence to make sense.

By the way, I was born in San Diego. I hope you enjoy your stay! : )
