Sunset Beach Walk with a Rising Tide

Friday, September 9, 2005

Tonight, accompanied by a beautiful sunset, the four of us walked up the beach to dine at a restaurant that had a broad deck built on stilts over the ocean.

Very delicious. Very relaxing. There were margaritas involved.

Walking here, we had realized that the tide was already merrily climbing the beach and so we had brought flashlights so we could make our way back to the villa by the dirt road that ran in front of the restaurant area.

After dinner, as night fell, we ended up being glad we could lend a flashlight to friends of ours who suddenly realized they would be stumbling down the alleyway in the dark otherwise.

On our way back we stopped in a tiny internet cafe where Jen was able to finalize plans to travel back home day after tomorrow. Jeff and his mom and I were travelling on to spend a week in London, but poor Jen had to head back to work early. It always amazes me that no matter where you are in the world, it's almost always possible to access the internet. It amazed me in a a small desert town in Morocco that had maybe three buildings, and it amazes me again on this little island off East Africa.
