Day 126 – Closing Festivities

The International Volvo Race is now complete. All contestants have made their way here to the island and it has been an event packed 12 days. We have watched from across the bay all of the activity with the entire thing. When I am on my deck I have been able to hear in the distance the concert music and see all of the lights and activity. Well, this morning I declared to Vinny “It’s the last day and all of the closing festivities are happening just down the road and I want to go for my intention for the blog.”

An hour later….we were there. It was a perfectly glorious day- high 70’s, bright and sunny, the Seagulls blaring as they flew by and the harbor was absolutely jam packed with boats. We got there and watched the parade go by (you know, I LOVE parades!!). We watched demo’s of driverless cars, an Asian synchronized fighting/dance display, we walked around and took in so many festivities everywhere the eye could see.  After we left we went out for a nice meal together to a restaurant we have never been too. Then Vin had to run to work for just a bit and I went to manage my booth for the week.

I came back and picked up Elijah and he and I went to the beach. There were people everywhere and I just love a packed beach! It’s fun to sunbathe and frolic in the water but it’s just as fun to just relax in my beach chair soaking in the sun- taking in all the happy vibes that come from a packed beach. The bright sun, ocean air, multitudes talking and laughing and happy commotion just makes me smile.

Afterwards, we came back and I cooked an amazing meal for an early dinner. And now Vinny and I are sitting on the deck, watching the sun set (Margarita in hand) and taking in the air as it cools and comforts. The sky is a brilliant pink and there are bluish/purple clouds billowing about. Today was a good day. #HGAL
