My last week on the 2009 tour. Wow!
Cocoa Beach with my big sis was fun. There really isn't much to do here besides swim and watch the thunderstorms. The sun is SO hot here and the humidity is unbelievable!
We had a lovely time together planning our future, swimming, getting completely covered in sand, and walking along the beach watching the sun and moon rise. One night, we went out around dusk and swam in the ocean, and right when we were getting out I saw a shark in the waves. Oh my goodness! That was the last time we would swim that late at night. Yikes!
We both got plenty of sun, tried our best to stay out of the sun during the heat of the day, and tried to stay cool hanging out on the balcony of our hotel room overlooking the blue, blue ocean.
Cocoa Beach is a tiny little place. I wouldn't come back here, but the water is lovely and warm. The palm trees are neat and the waves are inviting. I love the ocean, even though I'm deathly afraid of sharks.
It's been really nice having my big sis with me again. She's been living in Paris, France for the past 5 years, just got married (as you know) and is now looking into moving back to America. I am encouraging her to stay on the East Coast, and she's starting to lean toward it. (Yay!) It's funny, even though we're hardly ever together anymore, we still have similar mannerisms and our voices sound the exact same. Are jobs have certainly changed our personalities in some ways, but you can never erase our childhood. It's amazing how similar we still are. And wonderful, too. ;)
Having had 3 days off of work, my body is beginning to feel sleepy. I think it's ready to take a break from all this travelling. Although I feel as though I've basically been on vacation lately - since there is no planning to be doing for future events, I've gotten to take the time off and enjoy my life, my job and my sister - Thursday rolled around and I felt exhausted. I didn't want to do anything but sleep on the beach. We forced ourselves to go on a walk, and I've begun my search for a job - but, goodness - I'm exhausted. Abbey and I are talking about going to Costa Rica for a month - anyone know of any wwoofing jobs to do there? I'm looking for work in Cape Cod.
Oh, and I'm so excited to be going to my new home! A place I spent the entire spring and half the summer buying, and have only spent a week living in so far. (I can't believe I've owned a place for 2 months now!!!) I cannot wait to get back. I'll be preping for a housewarming partay and making it my own instead of a rented space.
The weekend rolled around and we set up, got through a slow moving weekend of hot, hot sun and sand everywhere! I spent breaks swimming in the waters with big Ab and the evenings with Dave and Ab at VIP parties. We had a really good time together. We played around in our hotel room, got lots of sleep with weird dreams and ate avocado and hummus every day.
This week's blog was a mishmash of everything. I think I will have one more blog post next week and then stop, unless people want more... Let me know what you're thinking out there!
