Remember this day

















Zandvoort, 26 September, Beach day Index = 9. September seems to have been a fantastic beach month here in the Netherlands, I have been on the beach most weekends and the days there have been mild, not a lot of wind, quiet and fun. Today is Friday. This is a day, I know that Iwill remember when we are in the midst of winter with cold, gray and wet days. That is the time to long for summer, realizing that is way too far away but count the days to a mild sunny beach day like this. When everything is calm, pleasant but a bit fragile. You have the feeling it can go either way, turn hot and sunny or be over. I think the latter is the more likely scenario.. unfortunately. Our beach club is slowly dismanteling, removing the protective wooden barriers that are so characteristic for this club. Just two more days then they will close. Sad on one hand but I am looking back at a fantastic dutch beach season. So many warm days, so much fun... We ended the beach day with a nap listening to Al Jearrau. Walked home, saw a movie and for the first time since long enjoyed an evening in the nightlife district, drinking bad wine and talking to total strangers. What's up with the americans that tell you their entire life story including all personal problems, issues and challenges. Defenitely amusing. The best line of the evening was: " Where are you from? " .. " I am from Hollywood "... " Oh nice! " .. "... uh ... Hollywood, Florida ".... " oh... ouch.... ugh!"
