I'm Starting to Feel Parisian
I'm ashamed to admit that It's been eighteen days since we've been to the beach. We look at the beach every day and night from our balcony. We walked along the beach on the 31st on the way back from the restaurant and ice cream. I don't even remember what it feels like to have sand in between my toes. In our defense, it has been raining quite a few days. We have had errands, appointments, water delivery and apartment issues to contend with. The beaches here are incredible, but we are starting to feel a bit Parisian... how often do they visit the eiffel tower? Once, twice, maybe three times in their lifetime, unless showing tourists or guests around. If we lived here full time, how often would we enjoy the beach? Is once a month, once a week or even once daily enough? How often can one enjoy the beach without getting bored and taking it for granted, maybe when it gets warmer it will be a more refreshing treat. But now I understand how these beaches can be so deserted. If you've grown up near or with these breath taking beaches, I can see how they can be overlooked and taken for granted. Because we've been here a month and we already get caught up in the day to day and don't make time to enjoy it.
