The highlight of the trip. Laying on the bed closest to the open window and hearing the crash of the waves on the shore. The unmistakable scent of salt in the air. Seagulls cawing in the distance. The chilly ocean air mingling with the heat from the fireplace heater. Thoughts slowly emptying from the mind. Falling asleep unknowingly. Waking up the following morning to the same calming scene.
