The Beach

I love the Alexandrian beaches. However the thing I hate most about them is the fact that they are always crowded. And not all of them are necessarily clean; so in order to avoid that you have to go to the more expensive ones. But that didn't matter much when we would go with our friends. And before I would go inside the water and get slammed by the waves I would always just relax on the coast, constantly having some sort of ice cold drink in my hand. And I wouldn't go in the water until I would get fried by the sun. And when I would finally enter the water and cool off, I would always direct my attention towards the skyline of the city and the street. It was an amazing scene. This image right here is exactly what I witnessed one of the days I went to the beach. I was extremely surprised to see this picture online because I didn't take the picture. Now, this beach is called The Mandara Beach. It was a very nice beach and it was pretty clean.
Now, there was a time when my friends and I went night swimming. It was one of those days where they were playing soccer up until two in the morning. And after the match, they were all sitting down claiming that they needed to cool off and a dip in the sea would satisfy them. Now, keep in mind that I have never been night swimming in my life and I was really eager to try this out. So everyone sort of disappeared to go inside their home and so they would change and get ready for the "second half" of the night. After twenty minutes every one met back outside and they were all ready to go. It was around two thirty in the morning when we all took off; we were a party of 12. One of my friends inside the car I was in claimed that the beach we were going to was a nice one to swim in at night but we weren't going to make it there before four. I was confused; was this beach far away or what. Then my friend went on to explain that it was going to be the traffic. So, it's three in the morning along the coast of Alexandria and we were stuck in traffic for literally twenty minutes. I honestly thought it was like nine p.m. because you would never believe that it was four.

And after the long car ride, we got to the beach and almost everyone got inside. It was the most amazing time I've been swimming. The lights of the buildings across from us were lighting up the water so well that I forgot it was night time. We stayed at the beach until sun rise. And by the time we left and were on our way back home, the streets were empty. I was also really amazed by the amounts of nice cars that showed up during this time, it's maybe because there wasn't any traffic.

But all I could tell you was that I couldn't wait to get home because I was dead tired. But before we got there, we stopped somewhere and got some food because we were all hungry off of our minds. And after we ate, we finally got home.
