Hahahh….you love the beach that much?? It’s really interesting to know things about you.

Yes! Although some beaches I have loved more than others:
1) Cancun, Mexico (great beach, but you have to pay for a place to sit down on it…what????)
2) Cozumel, Mexico (white sands, fresh air, potential for snorkeling, lovely)
3) Beach behind the Mayan ruins at Tulum, Mexico. (lovely!)
4) Oregon beaches (beautiful, but windy and cold; the fog when it’s there is supercool; they face the wrong direction.)
5) Texas beaches (would be cool enough, but for the heavily developed gas and oil industry, which last time I visited, had pretty much destroyed them.)
6) Beach in Yalta, Ukraine (interesting, but sand is replaced by tiny pebbles that each have a cross on them.)
7) Beaches in Hawaii. (Like heaven but watch for jelly fish.)
8) Where’s my next beach? 😉

Yes, the hiking would be great. We still have DEEP snow where we live and we go snowshoeing daily. It’s more work but there aren’t any bugs to deal with either. 😉

I love snow. Where I live, it’s cold but not enough snow. Although it did snow today. One year it snowed in June.

I like your seven things and agree with the beach statement. I want to live on the beach in maine. Funny thing…I’ve never actually been there

I’ve got to do some research. Beaches that are currently on the list are: Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Uruguay, and Argentina. The problem is that I don’t know enough about any of these places, yet. Seems like Cuba would be fun because they’ve got great music too! (But I don’t know about the political situation) Beaches are like books. So many beaches, so little time. 🙂
