Yesterday was one of those days that I know I will always remember in my heart. It started with slowly waking up. Three of my friends were at my house for Christmas.
Then a few of us went to get breakfast - a delicious yogurt and banana bread. When we returned we finished our laundry and just sort of hung out for a bit. We made a carrot and cucumber salad for lunch with a fruit salad for dessert. After lunch we played Uno and talked about our dreams. It was a pretty wonderful afternoon. And it was just getting started.
We had delayed going to the beach because of illnesses and Trambo bites, but finally we had decided (since it was the last day of vacation at my site) that we had to make it to the beach. As soon as we saw the shore line we were glad we waited. Our faces filled in smiles and we immediately got in the water.
I got to show off the most beautiful part of my site, what the locals call "Abony la Tabetra" or "above the table" its a rock formation that the waves splash up against. We went there at stood at the edge of the rocks and got sprayed by water. It was so refreshing and rejuvenating. With each splash was giggles and new smiles. And then we just sat and listening to the beach and took some pictures. It was nice to show off a little.
Then we went out for dinner at a place that had been closed all week and ended the night watching Steel Magnolias.
It was just one of those simple, beautiful, I can't believe this is where I live and I am so happy in this moment kind of days.
Merry Christmas to me :) I couldn't have wished for anything better!
