Semaphore- Take Two

What is better for a recuperation day than a beach day! I have not been to the beach since February, almost 2 full months.  This is unacceptable.  The beaches here are so amazing, I need to go whenever I get the chance.  The chance was finally given again, and I took advantage of it.  I ended up going with Carissa, Quentin, his lady friend Auror, another frenchie Shimon (?), and the Swiss couple, Valentina and Pierre.  The issue (not really an issue) with hanging out with thos groups is that the most common, native language, is french.  They spoke french the majority of the time.  Sometimes with a mix of Italian and then when Carissa and I were involved in the congo, English snuck in there.  

Despite the language confusion, it was a lot of fun.  Pierre had a kite that he was flying but he made it look really difficult.  The kite was dragging him across the beach! He was using so much muscle to control it.  Then I could look to my right and see a little lady flying a similar kite with no effort at all.  Comedic contrast…until I realized the kites were very very different.  Then the crazy Europeans started to play leap frog, do flips off of a san dune, and a bunch of hyper active things.  Carissa and I just sat their laughing at them because it was pretty entertaining.  Finally, we joined in when they started to build a human pyramid.  Which then lead to a wheel-barrow race.  Which lead to hand stands.  Which lead to playing with a football and if you couldn't catch it you had to do either push-ups, sit-ups, or squats.  I felt I was at a fitness camp, but I didn't drop the ball, so I did not have to do the punishments.  Then, the sun started to set and of course it was beautiful.  Cameras came out, jumping started to happen, and so there are about a million pictures of us jumping in the sunset.  Every one of the pictures is great though.  The sky turned fushia before it was dark.  I have never seen such a true pink color in the sky!! When I leave Australia, I think on my list of things that I miss most will be the sky.  I am such a hippie!
