Brief Respite 2009

Last year's respite was fun. This year's, just as. Not as much marine life to see at this beach, and the journey did take longer; but the sand was finer, the water clearer, shallower, more conducive to swimming, and the food more varied. And yes, I brought a book, "The Whisperer and Other Voices" by Brian Lumley. It pleased me to see another tourist at the airport also reading; her book: "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Of course, I also noted that we were the only two travelers reading. Nevertheless! This was a good rest. :)
