Beaches

These days, I wish I could lighten my load…I am just as overwhelmed as everybody in the class and I need to release some of the stress and pressure of it all. Usually, when I feel this way I go to the beach. I swim day or night it make no difference, as long as someone else is there swimming too. The sea is cathartic, it cleanses me, it heals my wounds, it rejuvenates me. I haven’t been able to swim lately, I go to the beach but I sit and read and everybody, especially Kayla gets to swim, but not me. And we have great beaches in St. Thomas and better ones on St. John.

There is Magens, the most famous of them all, Coki the more rugged swimmer’s beach, Lindquist the controversial beach, and another seven or so that I can think of on St. Thomas. On St. John there is Maho, Trunk, Cinnamon, Lameshur, Hawknest and so many more beaches. In fact, when ever I go beach hopping I don’t do it on St. Thomas I do it on St. John because beautiful beaches are more in abundance over there. I can’t wait to swim again, I must make the time on my birthday which is next Saturday, the 7th of July. If I do, I’ll ‘blog’ about it. Culture mom, signing out.
