stranger 30 :: ana

i approached ana as she was stretching after a run down the beach. she let me know that she was on vacation with her family in brighton beach, and that this was the first day it's really been cool enough to take a run. even though i'm not a runner, i had to agree. i had a really nice chat with ana about where she's originally from, the fast pace of the city, etc. i began to leave the pier ahead of ana, but when she ran by me she wished me good luck on the project. it was very genuine.
