We're going to live by the sea!

Yesterday we walked downtown to Place D’Etoile. We descended from our hotel down towards the water, to walk along the Cornishe. I could smell it before I saw it; the air had that salty, fishy, and sunny odor. As we came down behind a building, I spotted the blue water; an endless open splash of color and freshness. That first view of the Mediterranean was breathtaking. Not so much because of what it is or because it’s so beautiful – I have seen the Mediterranean more times than I can count, most recently in Greece - no, I drew a breath of excitement because it struck me right then and there, that I was here to stay. That right there was going to be my view for the next coming X years. This was my home now; right by the Mediterranean. That’s pretty amazing.
