So yesterday I went to the beach...people doubted me but there was no stopping me...I needed it...Ive been feeling quite landlocked lately!! The beach I went to is called Scheveningen...try and pronouce it...you wont be able to trust me.
I would like to point out a few weird things
1. people are fully clothed with jackets, scarfs and beanies...while walking on the beach
2. most people wear boots to keep their feet from getting cold because the beach is FREEZING
3. there are ice cream stands all along the boardwalk...like people are going to eat ice cream when its that cold...but i did get a hot chocolate at one of em...so i can be thankful for the ice cream stand...side note...hot chocolate is freaking delicious in the netherlands...its just so rich and full of chocolatey goodness...mmmmm. back to what i was saying.
I would like to point out a few even weirder things
1. i was fully clothed with a jacket, scarf, and beanie while walking on the beach
2. i could not bring myself to walk on the sand in shoes...its just unethical really...thats the whole expirience of being at the beach...walking barefoot in the sand. Plus I wanted to put my feet in the North Sea for the first time...but I think i made myself sick because of it....oops.
And my walk in the sand was prolonged cuz there were surfers in the water so i had to stay and watch and wish i was in the water as well. The waves werent great but totally rideable...and there was a sweet left rolling through that I totally would have shredded on...well as much as you can when the waves are waist high...but yeah as I got caught up in my day dream with no shoes on...my feet went hypothermic Im sure...they were freezing the entire train ride to Tilburg...my friend picked me up there and took me to dinner...which was really nice...he said I was blue when he picked me up. But the restaraunt was warm where we ate so I got feeling back in my toes.
All and all it was a good day...the beach is different here...but there is something about the ocean that just calms me down...and makes me feel at home...which I needed cuz I must admit I miss surfing, I miss being warm, and I miss my fam and friends back home...but im loving it here as well...its complicated so it suits me!
Today its pretty gloomy outside...and I have the biggest headache of my life...but im still happy to be here...and Id just like to say booyah-kashA to all those who didnt think Id go to the beach...please the ocean is my favorite place to be in the entire world...thank you and good nite!!

oh man, those photos are awesome. You took them right? seriously so cool!!! sounds like you are having fun!
You said beach! I live 6 hours from the beach I miss it too. If you went I assume it isn't too far. I'm with you I would make the trek as well and I don't surf. The beach did look cold. Maybe it will warm up a little in the summer.
I did take the photos!!! im getting better with my camera!!
yeah joy i dont think i could do 6 hours...i guess there is a beach about 40 minutes away...my friend will take me there next weekend...trying to do things that remind me of home...and hopefully it does warm up a bit...no worries though i get to spend christmas in italy...and it should be warm...cant wait!!!
