The closest I have been to the sea since evolution
Last weekend staying on the Japanese coast with friends, I had fish for every meal, fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I even had fish for a bedtime snack. I had raw fish, dried fish, broiled fish and just fish fish.
I must have eaten twenty different kinds of fish and they were all delicious, but after a while i literally had fish coming out of my gills.
One morning I took a shit and it smelled just like the sea. There was no difference between the smell of my shit and walking along a beach or sitting on a wharf, staring at ships and the sun going down behind them into billions of years of water.
After that shit I understood a little more about my roots that once swam with fish and my first home under the sea where I grew slowly like a garden toward the land.

…and with that being said, I’ve done and gone from Utah flew over to this Honshu island. Planning on a year at least, but we’ll see what happens as time unfolds!
