Marine Studies

I’ve been working hard these days. Because assignments never ask whether you’re on vacation when their due date is calling. But the good news is: as soon as I close my “books” (that is my (computer) “notebook,”) I find myself surrounded by beach, sand, ocean, and wind, and that means, I’m ready to take off on a new tour of discoveries. Today, this is what I got to study out of doors …

Treasures from the Sea

Exploring "our" beach

I got to collect treasures today. Treasured memories that is. Memories from playing at the beach, from walking the nature trail, from exploring the cliffs, and from checking out the other pretty beaches which are within bike riding distance from our location. There’s no better place for a retreat than a stretch of sand right by the seaside.

The sea has called us. And of course, we answered. After a road trip which took twice as long as it should, and which included an unplanned sight-seeing tour through the center of Hamburg (which we did to get away from the traffic jam on the Autobahn, but which caused us to get stuck in the city traffic just the same), we finally managed to arrive at our destination – a tiny port town at the Baltic Sea, not far from Denmark. And oh how excited I was to catch the first glimpse of the ocean right after sunset.
