I escaped last week for a couple of days on the beach. Eventhough I’m against tanning and sunbathing, those days at the beach were fortifying and refreshing. I spent most of my days in quiet reflection, thinking of everrything and nothing, walking barefoot wherever I went, feeling the combination of wood, sand, rock and grass beneath my feet was nothing short of exhilirating.

When diving into the sea I was also quiet, diving in, pretending I was fish (literally closing my eyes and pretending I was a fully colored fish), looking for flat rocks for skipping on the ocean surface and ocassionally getting a jolt whenever a piece of seaweed would rub against me making me think of a horrible jelly fish causing a painful burning rash. The waves were small, which was perfect for me, because I hate having sand in my bathing suit. When the sun would rise high in the noon sky, I would retire under a tree to read and listen to whatever tunes my ipod would spit out. It’d been years since I last visited sandy shores one of the main reasons, well, work and my aversion to tanning but I have to say, the beach, can be paradise and I’d forgotten that… there’s something about being semi-naked and barefoot all day that just makes you feel more you. I turned off my cellphone and felt completely untraceable…beautiful. After a day on the beach, in the late afternoon I would jog my heart out alone feeling all of my ailments and heart-opressing emotions just melt off with every drop of sweat, fall off with every rock I jumped and every crab I chased. At night I would go out on a night-safari with only one objective in mind, harassing and chasing every single crab I could find and try to find the biggest hermit crab I could, it was like being 10 years old again!

So I’m back here now making my last post for the summer… my computer’s CD\DVD driver just crashed and I’ve gotta send it for repair back at HP headquarters in the US so that is gonna leave me out of business for a while, plus, I leave for Beijing for three weeks on Saturday, so my next post can be expected to land somewhere in late July.
