The cold Pacific waters massage my dusty feet as I survey the perfectly peeling break just 60 feet in front of me.
After walking nearly a mile barefoot over a baking, rocky desert, the sensory release - and relief - coming from my suffering soles is extreme.
Surfers are a hardy bunch and will put up with all kinds of suffering to catch a wave or two. But it's not usually like this.

Then there's the paddling. That's how surfers reach the break, lying face down on their boards, moving through the water front-crawl style.

When I closed up my office and started to work from home, I discovered a whole world operating outside my gate that I rarely came across otherwise. There are the monthly cries by the old knife sharpener and his foot-powered whetting stone, the sounds every June and July of school students practicing on their trumpets for the local Independence Day parade, the vendor with a colorful array of brooms and mops that stand tall in his tricycle cart, and the rag and bone man on his motor-powered tricycle, offering to buy your old fridge, empty bottles, or used clothing.
But the greatest impact has come from four women who call at my gate.
