How lucky we are.
I sit here this afternoon listening to the waves, my sun dress blowing in the evening breeze, the clouds have blown in, and all 3 of my boys are asleep on the sand. Later I will go home and jump in the shower. Just like at your favorite summer camp the water changes temperature often and sand puddles in the drain. Best of all the sun shines through the window on my face as I wash. Tonight and every other night there will be no need to dry my hair because it will be dry and crazy in no time. Besides my in- laws , husband and children know that in less than 12 hours this hair (that is currently falling out like crazy) will be once again filled with sand. This evening, like many that have preceded it, we will eat home cooked Portuguese dinner and go out late in the evening for a coffee and treat. Not because we did not already have a treat ( or two ) today but because we can, and because this laid back lifestyle says we should.
Tomorrow will be our last day here. Our final day to watch the surfers, run in the sand, treat ourselves to evening pastries and drinks, play with our children as someone else takes care of us. We will do this again.... I promise myself, my children and my husband.....,for so many reasons we will do this again!
