What is summer without going to the beach? This was taken at South Padre Island, Texas during our vacation and visit to hubby’s long time friend. I enjoyed the beach so much. It was so refreshing and relaxing, I can still recall how it felt when I was swimming there. Obviously I missed the beach. How was your beach escapade?

The beauty of the sea. It feels so refreshing to spend some times at the beach to unwind and relax. I really had fun with my vacation. I really enjoyed finding some sea shells. This is just one of the pictures I took that I really like.

This was the hotel we stayed in Mumbai in 2006. Situated on Juhu beach, this was taken one afternoon along the shore where thousands of Indian passed their time. A silhouette of the hotel gave obscure view of the building painting.

Juhu beach, an indispensable part of the city of Mumbai, is one of the largest and frequently visited beaches in India on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Not exactly an ideal place for a quiet swim and a sunbath, the beach has a charm of its own, attracting legions of Mumbaikars every day.

How to get there:
Juhu is 20-25km north of the city centre; by air, it is not far from Mumbai airport, and which is also well connected by rail and roads, 15 Kms From Dadar Bus Stand.

I love vacations, and I cannot forget the one we took at a lovely place with a beach so cold and clean a water, last year. Who would not love beach vacation getaways? One place I want to go to is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I see the place is so pristine and welcoming that we deserve one and so a Myrtle Beach vacation. The visit there will surely be a memorable one, and it would be nice to stay there for few days with hubby, friends or family, no worries for accommodation for I know where we will stay, in the prestigious Myrtle Beach hotels and condos for rental in the area. There are so many things we can do and see in Myrtle Beach. Golf is an attraction for tourists there and most importantly, maybe we can find some properties we might be interested in. Last year we were talking about a possible property to purchase and we prefer it near a beach, or overlooking one. In Myrtle you may find one while on vacation. And hey, summer is near, it would be great to book ahead in a Myrtle Beach resort for great savings, while relaxing and enjoying a worry free stay.

In one of my afternoon strolls on the beach. One of those days on my strolling on the beach, I was just walking around for exercise and to get air. It somehow came out okay though. I enjoyed my place there.

When life is boring and gray, there is a place where we can focus and see the beauty and fun around it. This is how I see this picture. It is so divine for me. What can you say about this?

Frontier info the day:

CIA estimated the total population of India at mid-July 2008 to be 1,147.966 million. That is billions!

It was all gray. The weather was quiet peaceful despite the graying clouds. I love this shot through the hotel window. It was nice to see the part of sun’s light focusing on the part of the beach and the sea. Isn’t it romantic affairs of the elements?

Frontier info the day:

in total, there are 1,652 languages and dialects spoken in India.

The blurry and grayish shot like the weather of the beach below the hotel through the window. This was just a fraction of the people that would eventually pack the beach’s brown sand enjoying life, and me enjoying watching them when I had nothing else to do. After all, I was there on vacation, and as a tourist to learn about them.
