The local Electric Company scheduled a quarterly maintenance on a Sunday, hence we decided to escape the terrible heat and be at the beach instead, at least it's breezy there. The sun was exceptionally intense. It was actually painful on the skin. We stayed at a cottage most of the time to shield us against it. To console ourselves though, we keep reminding each other that the novel coronavirus didn't spread in our country because the virus doesn't thrive in hot weather. So, we welcome the sun's heat. Haha! 😂

More than 30 of us joined in this little escapade. It was quite a huge group. This was the largest group of friends I had in years, in spending the day at the beach.

We came prepared. Some of the friends brought a hammock, a mat, board games, card games, volleyball, and somebody even brought a surf board balancer with him. Of course, almost everybody gave it a try. Even our little fellow tried it, but with some help!

We were there to really enjoy ourselves, breath some fresh air, enjoy good food, pleasant association and simply relax.

In the hottest part of the day, the cool waters from a nearby waterfalls of about 300 meters away from the resort was a sweet treat! Some of our friends really indulge soaking their bodies while basking in the sun.

Later in the afternoon came the games. The boys played volleyball while the girls cheered for them. While others, seating on the mat in a relax fashion, created a small faction to have their card games moving.

And when the day was almost over, the sun bid farewell for yet another day. And as it does, it painted the sky with gold that gorgeously created a golden path.

I would say, the beach would not qualify to be inviting, yet the stronger friendship that was forged because of the great time we had at a simple beach is what makes it a sublimely beautiful Sunday.
