Just What I Needed - Beach Weekend

This past weekend I went to the beach with Ben, Eric, Isabelle, Sophie, and Hilary. We rented out a cabin for one night, and enjoyed the beach for two days. The beach was about a 10-minute walk away, so we were pretty close to the beach, but far away from everything else. The women we rented the cabin from drove two of us to the grocery store so we would have food and water for the weekend. That was super nice of her! She also offered to drive us all to the bus stop on Sunday. There are so many people in this world that do horrible things, and it’s just really refreshing when you have a run in with a genuine, nice stranger like her. Since we were so far away from the main part of the town, when we got to the beach, it was practically deserted. There was this wonderful breeze that cooled you off too, and the water was absolutely freezing.

It was such a beautiful day at the beach. I love it when the cliffs meet the beach; makes things seem more secluded. However, our walk down the side of the cliff was pretty steep, and had some awkward, angled steps. But we only had to go up and down it a few times, so it wasn’t that big of a deal. That night we made a nice little stir-fry with rice and veggies. It was a little healthy for my taste, but still good ☺

After dinner we went to go watch the sun set while drinking wine. It was a fun and relaxing night.

The next day we went to the beach again. It was a pretty nice day again (for the most part). But then all of a sudden this really thick fog rolled in. It was kind of creepy and cool at the same time.

The sun is so strong here. I wore 50 sunscreen the whole weekend and still got a pretty good tan. Over all, this weekend at the beach was exactly what I needed to relieve all my stress that had been building up. And it was also really nice to be able to hang out with Sophie and Hilary, since I usually only see them about once a week. It's always nice to get out of the city and get away from everything for a weekend.

Until Next Time,
