Beach adventure!

Well here is the story of the beach. First u need to understand a few things. I live a block from the water. It's by the small port, and five blocks west to the big port, where u catch ferries to get to the islands, to the south of here. There is two beaches within a 15 min walk from here. There not the cleanest beaches around, cause u always have boats yachts and ferries going through. So it's not a place u really want to swim. To sit and watch the water is one thing but getting in is another. So when i say we go to the beach it's between an 1-11/2 hrs to get to cleaner waters. So u need to drive. That's the other thing u need to comprehend, the driving here is not like over there. Remember how u had to learn the basic, driving in your own lane, (what??? u mean the emergency lane isn't for driving in when
traffic is backed up? or better yet i can't STOP in the passing
lane on a highway that is going 80mph) using a blinker, (ooh, that's what that handle is off the steering wheel) or watch out for pedestrians (pedestrians??? what pedestrians???). Well all thous basic u learned now forget it. Doesn't count here. For the most part, it takes between 2-3months salary just to learn how to drive. So many of the drivers find schools where they can pay off the instructors. Scary huh? Now lets add the streets are narrow, with only room for one car, plus u have people parking on both sides of the street and sidewalk. The bigger streets are full of double parking sometimes triple parking, along with this nobody drives the speed limit, if your not going at least 20 over u are the cause of a traffic jam. So u learn to be aggressive and make room to go around other cars within inch's from hitting them. If u think I'm exaggerating, u can ask my friend Julie, i think her finger nails are still stuck in my dashboard. She thought i was making it up
too. So anyways that's how it is here for driving.

So we are headed for the beach. We usually go only on Sundays. We try different areas. I'm not a crowd person, i don't like to be ass to ass with other people. So we look for smaller beaches that are less crowded. We usually go early and only stay 3-4 hrs,...remember it takes at least an hour to get anywhere... we leave before it gets really crowded. So anyways we find this beach, that has u going through the foothills of Mt's on winding roads. This beach is in a small village which is always such a treat since the roads in the villages are usually only wide enough for a donkey to get though. So we see the beach the trouble is where and how to get down to it. My dear husband tells me to take the road to the left (it's going down a hill that makes sense) There are cars parked both ways on both sides of the road. There just enough room for me to pass without taking off a mirror or two. When around the curve there comes a car at me. He has no place to go and neither do i. So we look at each other communicating the Greek way, when i discover I'm going down a one way road the WRONG way. That's what i get for listening to somebody who doesn't drive. But, i will say there was no signs or arrows pointing to stay to the right (which was going UP a hill). So i need to back out about 50 yd.... Did i ever tell u i didn't pass my drivers test the first time, cause when i was to back up in a straight line i was on the other side of the street when i finished.... Yippee, now i need to back up with only inch's on each side, hoping that i don't hit any cars.... oh, did i forget to tell u that on one side of the road the cars are parked on a cliff.... Isn't that special!!!... Well i went slow and made it through without hitting a car and sending it over the edge. So we take the road up a hill and it winds down to the beach. ...you know a sign or two
saying beach this way would of been nice...anyways we park and head for the water. It's not to bad maybe a 150 people are there, mostly family with younger kids running around. We find a shady spot for me, since we forgot to buy another umbrella. So were off to the side, I'm reading my book my husband is swimming. Now the beach is about half a mile wide. How it is that I'm soooo lucky to have the only person that i can see, sit next to me and start smoking. Lucky me!!! Why is it everywhere i go smokers seem to come by me??? Well there isn't much i can do about it so i lay there, and start people watching. I hate crowds but when I'm stuck around a lot of them i like to watch people. Remember i said there was a lot of families here. You know i wonder if sometimes people own a full length mirror. Cause why would u ever leave the house dressed like that??? I'm not wearing my swim suit this yr cause i gained 10 pounds and don't like my rolls of fat. But let me
tell ya i look pretty dam hot compared to the cellulite on the ass and thighs of so many of these women. I'm not talking a little cellulite, I'm talking alot of cellulite. There not my age either, I'm talking YOUNG, maybe early 30's for some. Another thing ladies let me tell u something, if u just had a baby in the last yr, chances are your string bikini DOESN'T FIT!!! That pouch u get from having kids along with the love handles is NOT suppose to cover the bottoms!!! The washing machine shrink your swimsuit??? But, whatever, who am i say your not sexy in somebody eyes. Then u have the women who are in shape, wearing the g- string swimsuit and walking around in stilettos. On a Beach??? Whats the matter there sweetie, u can't figure out why your having troubles walking in the SAND?? There's all kinds out there and people watching is fun.

Now it wouldn't be fair if i didn't mention the men. If your not a swimmer for the Olympics, and your over the age of 12, the speedo's has got to go. Why do men think they look good in speedo??? Specially the ones over 50 and has a belly like there going to have a baby. Did u ever notice there the ones with the over grown body hair that u can comb and they have a chain around there next. Even the thinner men don't look good. Do you really think your sexy looking??? I don't know i guess I'm just being judgmental. It's one of the good things about living here most people are not ashamed of there bodies. That is one thing that is good. As for myself i went this week again to the beach in shorts, but i had a swim suit top on. Maybe next week I'll actually take off my cover up.
So we had stayed a few hours and then went home. It was a nice day and a adventure as it always is. Hope u enjoyed the story...have a nice week!


The other day i couldn't figure out why there was a spot on the wall that didn't come off. Than i noticed it came from the light, I must of missed some mud from our grass experience. Which by the way we bought more sod this week, and we are buying a new refrigerator...yippee!!
