I could hear the chatter of people close by as they talked about their day like this was not a big deal for them. I felt differently about it as this was not a regular event for me.

crowded. The beaches are packed. If you are a parent with preteen children‚ then you are headed for a theme park. Watching families try to get through the entry gates is fun - excited and energetic kids‚ parents smiling cautiously. They are thinking about what lies ahead. Move over to the exit points. Here the sights are different - young voices still screaming‚ bodies sweaty in the summer sun‚ clothes sticky from juices and chocolate ice cream. Look at mummy and daddy now. The smiles are gone.

Sonic is mostly lingering touches
