Birra, Cola, Peanuts, Nail Polish?

Bethany and I had a day off yesterday so we decided we would do one of our favorite pastimes, beach day. We brought everything we would need for the day, towels, sunscreen, books, etc. It turns out that if you forget anything to have a perfect beach day there were hundreds of vendors walking up and down the beach selling just about anything imaginable. Many of these men were from the Middle East, or Africa, and their merchandise included, beverages, peanuts, umbrellas, jewelry, doughnuts, bananas, swimsuits, water floaties, pirated movies/cds  dresses and our favorite nail polish and fly swatters. These men would walk up and down the beach in the blistering sun, covered with whatever they were trying to sell. Sometimes you couldn't even see a man behind all of the blown inflatable toys! We were very thankful at times that we didn't even have to leave our spot to enjoy an ice cold beverage but at times it was a bit annoying and almost harassing. We found a couple of men from the Middle East very thankful that the USA took care of Osama Bin Laden. After a long day at the beach, we came back a bit pink but a great day none-the-less. After a great beach day we were craving some good American food. So we headed to the local TGI Friday's. It was the perfect meal to top off a perfect day.
