I went to the beach about a week and half ago. Well, I wasn't expecting much, so I wasn't too disappointed, but I still hoped it would be......I dunno. Since we were at one end of the allowed beach area, this shows a pretty empty part of the beach. Most of it was covered in umbrellas, and the water was packed.
But, I enjoyed it nevertheless. Can't really swim, they won't let you go out far, and the water is full of inner tubes. Many people don't go to the beach to swim. Most people "swim" (i.e., go into the water) in shorts and a shirt over a swimsuit, though there were some women who were just in suits. Most of them weren't the type to hit the water though. My friend kept noting when one such girl put on more lipstick.....definitely there to "be seen." Not that that doesn't happen plenty back home!
I enjoyed a bit of swimming, and just floating in the water, staring at the dome of the sky, and just listening to the surf. I really, really miss the sound of the ocean. REALLY. ;) We buried J. and then A. in the sand. It was the only time we could keep J. in one place for any length of time. She wasn't too keen on the ocean-the water moved too unexpectedly, I think.
Back at school now. It's OK. Very school-like. Very unvacation-like. No surprise there, eh? Vacation wasn't quite long enough for me. Ah well.

da beach!
I like the beach I am just not a fan of the sand... dans everywhere! in your hair in your eyes... in your shoes...in your bathing suit????
oh well guess that is part of the fun on the beach ;)
Love the beach, when the water is warm! I missed you. I've been checking the site and you were quite for a while. Glad you are back now and Posting. Love you! B
I THRIVE at the beach!!! Went for a swim to the middle of Picture Lake yesterday. Not as much fun as the ocean (I rather love the wave action and the rollercoaster effect it has on my swimming stroke!), but it fit the purpose. I wanted the workout and didn't want to backtrack after my last assignment to my favorite swimming beach with no bathroom. The lake has the added advantage of a bousehouse! And I love sand...even when it's in my car, my clothes, and my crevices, it reminds me of summer fun! I'm really glad you enjoyed yours! And I hope the school days are pleasant and positive! Love you! ~T.
