Beach Day

[belize44]

We are heading out to the shore tomorrow for a few hours. We had planned this about a week ago but for the past two days I have been about moderately crashed; brain fog, shortness of breath, fatigue, mild muscle and back pain.

Does anyone have any pointers on hacks to make it not be an exhausting nightmare? I can't swim, so that won't be an issue. I just hope to wade in the lovely salt water and rest most of the time there. Because of food sensitivities we plan to take our own food in a cooler and plenty of salt and magnesium water. Any other tips or ideas?

That sounds wonderful! For me, its about how bright it might be, and the breeze, and the intense grittiness of it all.

My last trip down to the beach, it was cool and windy so I was burrowing into the warm sand, in a jacket and my hat and sun glasses, my toddler granddaughter a bit shocked at the whole thing. Pretty much I was lying down, and peeking out now and again.

We didn't go down near the water. It was still really nice just being near it!

Exactly! Just being near it all.

We made the trip. We only stayed on the beach for two hours, and ate our sandwiches. I waded a bit, but mostly just drank in the sights. The drive was exhausting and I am thoroughly crashed. But it was well worth it!

Wonderful to hear @belize44 ! I’m very lucky to live right next to the beach, it’s only a few minutes drive to get there. My best friend might take me there today, I’ll post pictures if I do. Going to take bags to collect rocks and shells.

I hope you recuperate soon.

Here I am atop the field by the shore..Not a beach but stoney. So I can sit outside my home and all but be at the shore.

Glad you can enjoy it!

I'm glad that you reported back about your "excursion" Belize. Good for you. Sometimes it's worth it to do something that feeds our soul even though it's hard on the body. I'm happy for you. Yours, Lenora

Thank you. I went a short walk at first light and the water as still as grey glass,,
