Life's A Beach . . . (Brittany version. . .)

Life at the beach in the summer in Brittany can seem slow and idyllic, but if one looks carefully, there are hundreds of stage plays unfolding all around, slices of life, people being people, colors drenched in the sun, babies discovering sand and water, discovering the frontier between dry land and ocean, sensing somewhere deep in their genes the recorded history where we crawled ashore and took our first gasping breaths all those millions of years ago . . . sprawling in the sand contemplating the horizon, gazing at the distant sails traversing the bay between islands . . .

I couldn't help but notice that there were a few bathing beauties in the chilly Brittany water . . . (approximately 18° C or 64° F) Good for goosebumps ! But actually very refreshing to swim in once you get over the initial bracing shock of entry . . .
