The stereotypical image we have of summer (and it's most definitely summer here - ninety degrees, can you believe it?) is a sumer spent mostly at the beach. ?But some girls - girls like me - don't look at time at the beach as a stereotypical summer - lying in the sun, lounging around and working on their tans. ?But, being "a stranger in a strange land," I felt anonymous enough that I thought I could do some of that without any of the consequences. ?We planned on going to the beach this afternoon.
But we didn't really have an opportunity to spend time at the beach - the highways were too full of holiday commuters, and besides the beaches were too far. ?So we just went to a pool in one of the hotels. ?Not exactly a beach but at least it wasn't crowded, and we were in the sun and near water.
I didn't get to practice swimming - still not good at it - so I stayed in the kiddie side of the pool. ?Moe ranged over most of the length of the pool, though, showing off. ?I'll be able to do that eventually. ?I hope.
I'm gettin' pretty brown. ?I'm way past tan lines now, and since my ma is from South Italy, I guess I tan pretty good. ?I was worried that if I tan too much, my plastic surgery incisions will become obvious. ?Thank goodness they didn't. ?My surgeon was right. ?Anyway, like I said, I'm way past tan lines now. ?My one-piece was incredibly white on me. Good thing Moe likes me this way.
But it wasn't all fun. ?I mentioned in the previous blog, when you're in a strange place, you tend to fill the unfamiliar with familiar things - with safe people and safe things. And I guess that's what I'm doing. ?Coz I actually miss home a little bit.
Holidays can be pretty lonely, but it's always good to look at what you have, and do things to keep busy, ?I'm doin' okay, I got my Moe, and I am enjoying my stay here as much as anyone can when one is away from home.
It was pretty much okay today.
