Helen conqueors Virginia Beach

its 23:37 and a completely perfect evening at Virginia Beach is drawing to a close.

We arrived, a little tired and worn about 7pm. We said hello to the ocean, then had a gentle walk at dusk up and down the boardwalk.

This was followed by yummy sea food and much fireworks- which were set off exactly opposite our room. Afterwards, we watched from our balcony as a full moon rose over the ocean.

We walked along the warm sands, happy++ not to be roasting in the mountains any more. Then we strolled the streets- clowns and bands and such on every corner. Whole families wondering around at 11pm at night. Little girls, aged 3, never been up so late.

(Postscript: next morning we awoke to brilliant sunshine and the sounds of the ocean lapping on the sandy shore and dolphins swimming out beyond the breakers. Damn fine.)

Been trippin' around? That looks so great, save some for me. I hope it's not the end of the golden weather.
