Going to Gonzales Beach with Margo

I joined Margo at the beach today. Around noon, I took the bus going to Gonzales Bay while she was racing the bus with her bike. It was a nip-and-tuck race between the bus and Margo - she actually managed to be in front of the bus a few times. In the end, the bus arrived at the busstop shortly before Margo did and I walked the rest of the way next to her.
The sand on the beach was extremely hot, so that walking on the sand didn't feel too nice today. We lay down on a towel and enjoyed the sun. After a while, we decided to go into the water. Unfortunately, there were a lot of algae in the water today, which didn't look to appealing. Nevertheless, we went into the water and a bit further away from the beach, it cleared up. We saw a hermit crab in a shell, which was quite fascinating. Even though the water was icy cold, we managed to quickly sit down in the water. Margo even lay down on her back for a few seconds. When it got too cold, we got back to the beach.
As I knew that I had to work later, I couldn't relax too much since I always had to keep an eye on the time. I left the beach just past 3 PM because I still wanted to make dinner. On the way to the bus stop, Margo asked me 'Did you see it?' and I had no idea what she was talking about. I had to look three times until I saw it - there was a deer standing close to me. In fact, there were actually two deer and one of them was still a fawn.


After I got home and took a quick shower to get rid of the sand that was sticking to me, I realized that my camera was covered in sand. It didn't really turn on anymore due to the sand - the zoom seemed to be broken. I was getting a bit desperate since I knew that repairs could be really expensive. Thus, I tried to fix it somehow. After a while, I got the great idea to use a vacuum cleaner to get the sand out of the camera and luckily, it helped.
After that, I quickly cooked some noodles for dinner and then went to work.We had a lot to do this evening since it had been busy and the customers left a mess. There were so many items in places where they didn't belong, it almost felt like a scavenger hunt to find them all and put them away.

  1. Oh yeah! And that awful animal is called a BERNARD LERMITTE in French. Amazing name for such an ugly thing!
