Tybee Day 4

Day 4 on Tybee Island. I woke at 7:30 and took in the locals and breakfast at one of the best places for it, The Breakfast Club. Good eggs good coffee and lots of people some visiting some who call this place home and some who call it home once a year. The three people I met today were all from major cities Boston, Atlanta and the owner who is originally from the Chicago area.  You can tell by the pace of the place that a city slicker is running it.  I think it's a good thing he is though because it stays busy and there is a line out the door every day.  I road back to the beach cottage, I like feeling the wind in my hair when I zoom down the road.  About an hour and a half later, we all went to do a bit more shopping.  We walked to the big peer and then went to lunch at Spanky's SeaFood galley and saloon.  It is right next to the beach and the the food was pretty yummy!  After lunch we road back and I am currently taking a brake from people and sun at the same time my traveling buddies decided to do more sea bathing and I decided it might be better for us all if I had some alone time.  :). Later on we are planning on taking a boat trip with Captain Mike, following that we will be having dinner, I hope, at AJ's which is located on the west side of the beach where the marsh area is.  We will eat dinner on the dock and watch the sun set.  There is more people on the island this year,last year we went in mid May and there was't the crowds on the beach like this year.  The evenings are better though, most people don't hang out on the beach in the late evening, just as the sun is about to go down, personally I think I like that time the best.  The sea when I am near it, makes me still and slow, it reminds me of a place I have not yet been, and speaks of the truth of it's reality.  The sea helps me to stop and consider it's creator.  :)

Assateague.

Assateague. A new kind of swear word, or a wild horse Island on cost of Maryland? I spoke with a friend of mine on the phone the other day. He had been wondering why he hadn't seen me in awhile, I explained that I had gone east to Delaware, there we,( we being my house mates and I) , Had adventures and time next to the ocean. While we were there, I explained that we had visited an island called Assateague. His response made me laugh" pardon me" he said." No,"I said, "I'm not swearing at you." There are these Islands called Assateague, and chincoteague. They are located in Maryland and Virginia. The Islands are national wildlife refuge. One kind of wildlife are the wild horses. We saw them up close and personal, that was unexpected. We're all ok though, and the horses only wanted to say hi, and see if we would feed them any of our strawberries. The strawberries were mine, and I was not about to give them up to a horse, no mater how wild he was. ...

wet pavement.

Remember that song we used to sing when we were kids, the one we sang when we wanted to go frolic in the out doors but we didn't because it was raining. Rain rain go away come again some other day. Or the one about the old man, It's raining it's poring the old man is snoring, he got out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning. Why did we sing those songs, I mean what happen to the old man? I remember, a few times, during the summer when I was a kid my parents would let us play in the rain. This sounds strange I think, but I like the smell of wet pavement, and I used to lay on it face up eyes closed, every other sense awake. The side walk would be warm from the summer sun of the day, and the rain falling on me would be cool. I remember thinking this is so beautiful God. To know God, is to really experience life, in a vivid sort of way, to have every sense, AWAKE.

More from the Tom boy

...She will most likely have a favoret tree she climbed when she was a girl. She didn't just climb it she sat in it and dreamed in it. She also probabley sprang ankles and wrists jumping out of it at times. Maybe she dreamed of building or built, (with her dads help) a tree house or tree fort in the tree. One of her favoret movies is the Sandlot, and she wanted to be one of those boys, and was really frustrated because she didn't seem to have the same kind of fun and adventures they did, or maybe she did. If she did she sure got into a bunch of trouble. She will have stories about playing in the dirt, chasing down lizerds catching crodads in the crick, and having mice for pets, and being the fasest girl on the neighborhood block. This Tom boy is a dreamer, always wondering and questioning life and pausing to hear the noise or silents inside. For the most part these thoughts and dreams never are spoken out loud though they are bursting at her seams to be heard.
