The Gulf of Mexico
Friday, March 17, 2006
I attended a session up to 10:45 and after that Pat Dunkel took me to a short drive, for about 20 minutes to the Gulf of Mexico. I did not inform or take the others, simply because we needed a time together simply to catch up with the good old days, besides.....Pat's car would not hold everyone in.
In about 10 minutes leaving the conference area, we came over a long, very long, bridge. It was miles after miles, and I felt like we were driving over an ocean. Then after about another 15 minutes we came to the gulf already. We passed by rows of hotels and mansions, but we kept on driving to find a space that said it was a public beach, because most of the spaces was a private property. So, people can own their own beach. After a while, we got one that belongs to the County.
I was amazed with the cleanliness of the white sand beach. I really thought that the commitment of the authority to keep the beach green and shady was worth sharing. I compared it with the so many beaches in Indonesia I had seen, and they were all far off. Here at the gulf I not only enjoyed the clear water, as what its name was, but also shady trees and greeneries. You could see seagulls flying around freely and undisturbed. And….you were not disturbed by people selling souvenirs around….
