The Life of Waiting for Ferries

Growing up in a coastal community means you get very good at patience. Practicing patience is more than a virtue, it's a necessity on the West Coast. Patience waiting for ferries. Waiting for ferries can also get very boring though. This is a picture I took when bored waiting to catch a ferry back home to my parents place yesterday. I sat for two and a half hours in the parking lot because I missed the previous ferry by a couple minutes. It didn't take long for me to get bored. Anyways, the cross in the picture is a cross hanging off my rearview mirror and it's the only thing I bought for myself when I was in Rome for Easter in 2004.
