On a Tybee Island beach you may…
crash a wedding // catch birds in midair (on camera that is) // enjoy a little dolce far niente // peer at gossips peering out from the pier // stumble upon structures coming directly out of a Wes Anderson movie // go fishing on the pier but, remember: no sharks! (because it is actually possible to catch sharks from the pier…?!?!) // laugh out loud at the de facto appropriation of the monostyle ”private properties” by real beach dwellers (the ones with wings)…
events and observations in no particular order or preference

What not to wear on the beach
Forgive me for sounding judgmental, but can you think of anything more unfit for the beach than a pair of black high heel platform boots?

Walking Downtown Santa Barbara
On Anacapa Street, attracted by the curvy beauty of this building which, incredibly, is a parking lot. All straight toward the beach and the Chase Palm Park, lined with rows of palm trees as far as the eye can see. And a faraway look at Stearns Wharf; we walked the other way, keeping our distance.

Beach life
Carmel Beach. White sand, mile-long stretch, dog friendly but, oh! so chilly on that day. I was really surprised at how chilly it can get on the coast, even in July. That was not the California Summer I had in mind!

Atlantic city – Aboard the quiet car to the beach
On the train to Philadelphia, we had discovered the quiet car completely by accident. A great feature, one that trains in Europe would greatly benefit from. Why this has not been implemented on the other side of the Atlantic, is a mystery to me. We now ask the train attendant for the quiet car, every time we’re about to board a train.
Half an hour later and… what a difference 60 miles make!
A brilliant sunshine, a light breeze, unseasonably warm, an enormous beach, no crowds.
“Enjoy God’s gift to humanity!” an excited fellow walker exclaimed…
“Enjoy!” we echoed, smiling back… “as long as you remain under the boardwalk”, we added silently.
