Beachlife, Bloody Mary and Before Sunset

I have a feeling that me an Mary, Bloody, become very good friends this summer. Blame it on Air Berlin, the airline which always flies me back to good old Germany, and it’s awesome tomato juice which is the only reason I actually fly with Air Berlin. It screwed me and the role of my favorite Cosmopolitan is threatened.

The weather was finally, finally almost awesome the last two days, just a few clouds but already hot in the sun (31 degrees, ha!), so hot, that I decided to put some sun screen on what I haven’t done for years. Wisdom of the day: go without sunscreen in the sun and you’ll be sun burnt. Awesome, my epiphanys, right?

My Saturday I spent getting slowly tipsy in the hot sun with ice cold Bloody Marys on Michelle’s terrace in Spain while Lucas, Frenchie, was giving me company although he was suffering from a hangover. Two hours later, lying on the beach, I was suffering from a headache. Vodka, tomato juice and sun are not the best friends at all, but there was no shadow and I started to feel a bit like the guys from The Secret History, great book, who were also all the time reading intelligent books, talking about intelligent stuff and Mary was always with them. Just with the difference that I used the book I was reading to cover my face from the sun…

“I can see our unborn children in your eyes…”

But without any doubt it was a great Saturday on the beach with friends, nice, casual talks, sun on my shoulders. Later we went to have some Tapas (the best thing actually about Spanish food) and ended the evening hanging out on Michelle’s terrace, watching the moon (pics will follow) and talking, about so crazy stuff that I was almost screaming cause I laughed so hard. “Now what do you say to a girl?” asked Cristi “let’s make sweet love all night long, you girl the most beautiful eye I’ve ever seen” or “let’s bang…”…my favorite was the quote from Don Juan de Marco (aaawww..Johnny Depp in that movie*love*): “I can see our unborn children in your eyes” what made me almost collaps when I quoted it. But all this Western stuff is nothing compared to the Indian perception of romance, so Norman and me decided to watch some Hindi video clips…come on, who can resist “the magic of a fullmoon night lies in your eyes”, whispered by Shahrukh Khan?

The grand final came when Norman and me were dancing to our cars, rumbling “Chori chori hum gori se” – I still have to giggle remebering it and I’m sure we would do a great Bollywood movie together!

Tarifa

Today was another beach day, this time with Nicole who I showed Tarifa for the first time. To be honest, Tarifa sometimes reminds me of Gold Coast, Australia, and today is was beautiful with the sun gleaming in the ocean, the only thing really bad is always the wind there which was kinda ridiculously strong today. I still can feel the sand everywhere even I took a very long shower, but the Pasta later in the small restaurant I always visit once I’m in Tarifa was great, as the talks we had.

Home I decided to give the neighbours some pleasures as I lay down in my new Bikini in fron of the house since our balcony has sun just in the morning. But they didn’t mind at all and when I look really close in the mirror I pretend I see a little bit of a difference between the skin which was covered and the skin where the sun was shining on…working on it!

The evening ended with some really good, inspiring talks and one of my all-time-favorite movies, Before Sunset. I can’t say how often I watched Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, but they really enrich my life and give me just a good feeling. So I go to bed today with a big smile – summer is there, I had an unexpected amazing weekend with friends (of course the “missing” part is still there but I learn to live with it…) and the next days will be just sun, sun, sun. Finally.

Goodbye, I love you all, as Shahrukh Khan uses to say
