Jones Beach revisited

The spirit of 2004 is also found in this near perfect June day trip to Jones Beach to enjoy the SPLIA exhibit on the history of the state park and its recently restored art deco design features. To say that this revisitation to the original ocean of my youth gave me a fuller appreciation of the place is an understatement; there is an "inner" Jones Beach somewhere in that big, blue southern sky, a place that Bowie sings when he's not in Kyoto. Jones Beach and Kyoto: so far away from eachother, and yet, equally important delivery systems of the spirit of 2004.
