What is it about the ocean? It seems to call us. "Return to me, return to me," she seems to say to our subconscious mind. Has it something to do with the fact that the earliest life formed in the sea and from there made its way ashore? I sometimes wonder just what it is that draws us like moths to the flame to the ocean and the beach.
We were recently in Nags Head, North Carolina. We all went down for my father-in-laws 80th birthday. This guy is amazing. He looks about 60 and could out work/out play any 30 year old. Great time had by all. The beach was fantastic. Lots of fun in the pool. The hot tub on the deck with a few of the ocean was truly perfect. Did some sight-seeing, shopping, water -sports, and hit some great bars and restaurants. The locals were extremely hospitable. It was nice to spend some nice relaxed time with my own family as-well-as have some quality time with my nieces and nephews.
I've been to beaches in many states, in the Caribbean, Europe, and Australia. I have to say that Nags Head is one of the nicest beaches that I ever ever been to. I'm looking forward to going back. I'm sure I'll hear the Siren Song of the Ocean again next summer. Unlike Odysseus of Old, I will more than likely have to answer the call. The only question is, which beach will I be parking my "dupa" on?
