Another day at the Beach

Another wonderful day at the beach. I could get used to this. Today was really good. Tracey, Nico, and I along with 2 guests/family friends, packed up our pocketbooks and bags and headed out to the rocky beaches of Camogli beach in Genova, or perhaps I should say "pebbly" beaches. Seriously, nothing but pebbles, beautiful yes, but fatal on the feet. At any rate, that didnt stop me from making that painful trek of about 3 feet from my beach towel to the ocean waves. Now, there's one thing that should be clarified about me. I cant swim. Thats right, I Jennifer McIntyre have never learned to swim. Never learned to as a kid but it seems I've hit the jackot since living here. Long story short, every week the 3 of us head to the beach- or to someone's pool, and I set aside my fears and dive in...or wade. And each time Im less and less afraid! Today I used a boogie board and only fell Off Once! YAY! Thats what I call some serious progress. Pretty soon yours truly will be swimmin with the fishes. Anyway, that took up most of the day but I enjoyed every moment of it. The sun was bright and hot, the water, cool and blue. My hair turned into a bunch of floppy seaweed and I turned into a walking block of salt. Now thats what I call a good day.
