Sunday all day long

It was Sunday all day long yesterday, I felt a need to escape the long lines of people people everywhere I go. After a hour of speed sleeping , I got up and got dressed and boarded the first underground train that was outbound from the city. Total time of travel half an hour , I arrive at my friends house. We load up the truck as if we are going on a camping trip, we were only going to the beach. The beach is empty because everyone is at the De Young Museum that was having it's Grand Openning the crowd was forty minutes long to wait to get in and take the free tour. To me that seems just plain crazy to wait that long to go inside on a beautiful day , what a waste! We get to the beach, climb down the rough terain , locate the perfect spot. The waves were reported to be breaking at 10-15 feet high, I think I saw one around 5' that was just swell. The sun was heating everything up except the water, the temperature of the ocean was proably 58 degress, brrr to cold for my skinny white chicken legs! So we didn't ride the boogie board, another day for getting that wet. Since we weren't getting in the water we decided to eat our lunch. The hard boiled eggs that we almost forgot to bring with us. The melon, cheese and crackers, the oysters and the Resina. My friend wants to go look for sand dollars ,I just want to soak up the sun and dream of far away places. You know , I find I sleep really good on the beach, the roar of the waves crashing so close that I swear I can feel the mist coming off them. My friend comes back and tells me it's time. Oh no we got to go. No, it's time for jello. Jello shots. yum yum. Vodka jello shots. What a great day, it was Sunday all day long. We watched the sun drop below the horizon and then we left and headed home.

Hi! Resina is Greek wine made from the bark of trees, I've forgotten which type of tree bark but it's great with cheese and oysters and tabasco hot sauce. I really enjoyed your post hope all is well.
