It was fantastic…we dashed through the waves like two kids and I haven’t felt so young in a long time. Life in the city seems to be so repetitive and we just reel along and forget about the really important things in life. For instance, I hardly taste my coffee in the morning but I really love the smell and taste of freshly ground coffee. When you escape that, even if it’s just for a day, you start to appreciate things again.
We collected shells and splashed each other. I even built a sand castle and a moat. Then we went to a little harbor side restaurant and ate fresh fish. Nothing like the fish we sometimes eat in the city which kind of looses its taste after being on the road for a few days. There was a brass band on the Prominade but we didn’t stay for long. It was mostly Grannies or kids and we needed something a bit jazzier. To our great surprise there was a club with techno music open and it was only 2 in the afternoon. Needless to say we got sloshed and danced like lunatics. Although it felt weird coming out from a club pissed and it was still bright outside.
On the way home, we took the train so that we could have a few drinks, the landscape was really nice and I fell asleep and nearly missed the station. All in all it was a super day and we plan to do it more often so that we feel more alive.
