Trip to the Beach

Leisure Activity: The beach

Date: March 24^th, 2011

            Fortunately for my roommates and I our apartment is situated very close to the beach. When we first arrived the proximity of our apartment to the beach meant very little to me. The weather was not nearly nice enough to lay out or have lunch outside. However, now that we are finally experiencing the beautiful Barcelona weather I had heard so much about I can finally take advantage of the beach and the marina.

            Today I went to the beach with my five roommates. We went to class first and then headed back to our apartment to change our clothes. We left our apartment for the day around 15:00 and headed to Carpe Dium Lounge and Club for cocktails and a bite to eat. We sat  on the enormous comfortable couches located on the deck. The women working walked around offering massages to the customers so of course we jumped at the opportunity to unwind. We sat for a while and relaxed before heading down to the sand. We brought towels and blankets with us and laid them out on the sand. Around us people were playing ball, listening to music, and taking in the beautiful scenery. As I sat out on the beach today I realized how lucky I am that I have been able to call this place my home for the past few months.

            After we had enough sun we decided to take a walk on the beach towards the beautiful W Hotel, which is situated directly on the beach. We strolled up and down the boardwalk and even climbed up on the jungle-gym type apparatus located on the sand.

            When the sun started to go down around 19:00 we walked back to our apartment. I truly enjoyed my relaxing day at the beach and am looking forward to doing it again very soon.
