Today the sea is tranquil with gentle swells under a clear blue sky. Seagulls are circling overhead, and I can see several pelicans diving for fish, wings spread as they plunge into the water. There are fresh grapes on the plate.
I played badminton with my girlfriend. We sat on a rock, eating trail mix and discussing our fitness progress. It feels great to have a supportive friend who understands my goals.
Shouldering my small bag, I pass the nature photographer again on my way down; he is still busy taking photos. He waves to me, and I wave back, wishing him a pleasant day. I also pass the family with two children, who appear tired but are still smiling while holding their money.
