white sand under my feet...

...was better than shoes!!!

I am a fortunate person who got to spend the first day of the year on the beach, by a sea the colour of turquoise, under the warm sun while drinking piƱa colada and reading, finally, "The lost symbol"! I could not have asked for anything more, I had a week of absolute bliss while carrying a smile on my face which reached from one ear to the other! Everything was perfect, everything was better than I had hoped for and I came back full of wonderful memories, wish to go back and... 2 kilos extra! Yep, those tortilla chips with guacamole came back here with me...

I was determined to do something different for the Xmas holidays this year, escape the winter and go spend this time somewhere far where I could enjoy the sun and the sea. I did it and am glad I did! One week of holidays which restored my tired body and mind. Beach in the morning, naps in the afternoon, eating, drinking, dancing, shooting pool, reading... paradise could not be much different than this!! I would have loved to have stayed more but, truth be told, I am not really complaining because even to be able to be there for a week was a dream come true!

Everything was beautiful but the best thing was the sand! Seriously!! So fine and white and not hot at all though under the hot sun, and so peacefully looking and clean and comfy under the soles of my feet... like caressing them with every step...   I have always loved walking on the beach, having the water cool off my feet and enjoy the view of this line between the sand and the sea... But this time it was 10 times better than anything I have experienced before... definitely better than shoes...

PS. Happy New Year to all of you and your loved ones!
