No, absent the unlikely event that, in the three years since our last visit beachfront condominiums have been constructed there, our modest expectations will probably be met. As I write, the sound of the sea is haunting me. I can actually hear the rhythmic crashing of the waves. I can feel the warmth of the sun on my body and the sand underfoot. I can feel the type of weariness that can only be induced by doing absolutely nothing other than swimming in the sun and relaxing on the sand.
Recreation is an interesting word.
That is exactly what happens to me on these vacations. I am especially looking forward to experiencing this time in the sun with my daughter. Since her birth, I find myself looking at things through her eyes more and more. And this has brought an element of freshness to my life that, as I grew older I must have forgotten existed. I can't wait to see.
