so true Manda. just letting that sound wash over you, doing stupid stuff like looking for shark teeth and conchs along the shore. and I've always thought the sun is the most relaxing thing in the world.
you sound like you have really nice beaches..I mean what would you expect from an island continent
but still you're so lucky. the Jersey shore is crowded, small, and some of it quite polluted. I've said it before I think, but Australia's beaches look like Florida's...and those are just gorgeous.
I was actually having some pretty morbid thoughts the last day I was in S. Carolina except they didn't seem morbid at all; I was lying on the beach tanning and thinking, I could just die right here and melt away into the sand and I wouldn't mind a bit. and I decided that when I die I want to be cremated and have my ashes scattered along the beach somewhere. told you it seemed morbid! it really wasn't though, it was just peaceful, accepting that you really are just a small, uneventful piece of life in some grander scheme.
plus everyone's always friendlier when they're at the shore, in no time flat you can be playing volleyball or tackle football with perfect strangers and having so much fun.
so rock on beach lovers the world over!
