I have always been a lover of mountains, maybe because genetically I belong to it. I have never been overly fond of the sea. I do like looking at it, but that's it!
I have hated the sand getting into my eyes and shoes; the amount of cleaning one has to do after you come back from a swim in the sea has always put me off.
Its been two months now that I have been living by the Mediterranean and though I still don't like the sand, I love the sea! I hold every moment precious when I just gaze at the changing colors of the sea and get absolute peace. Nothing else matters, now it is just the beauty and the vastness that takes my breath away.You know, everything has a time and place and this is my time and place!
Everyday is a new experience for me, the language, the culture and the divine weather has helped me not miss my country too much. I am taking each day as it comes and trying to cram in as much into my 24 hours as I can. (I still take my mid afternoon nap though:))
As I write this, I am looking at the sea which is deep blue;light blue; green and turquoise and oh so many shades which I had never noticed in the seas before.
Life teaches you to be so inconsistent! Here is a lover of mountains half in love with the sea.
