Ocean Blue
Interesting article about the mammalian dive reflex, that "altered state" you enter when submerging yourself in the ocean.
Not sure about the "science" in the article; this is Buzzfeed, after all. But I do know the ocean relaxes me greatly. I don't even need to be in the water. Simply being near the ocean -- a beach, a dock, a boat -- instantly drops my blood pressure. When I'm near the ocean, I'm happy. Given my druthers, I'd retire to a beach house.
Unfortunately, my wife won't hear of it. She can't stand the beach. Were we to follow her ideal plan, we'll be retiring in a high-rise apartment in New York City. She's a singer and performer, (and a very good one at that), so being a short walk away from Broadway is a dream come true for her... and an unbearable nightmare for me. As with all things marriage related, a compromise is in order. Anybody know of some nice condos next to a playhouse on a white sand beach?

That would be Miami. Brush up on your Spanish and hire several security agents.
