The Beach!...in the rain
Last Friday was seriously hot, we are talking at least 100 F. I got home from Uni and proceeded to sit in a chair with a fan direction pointed at me and stayed there for the rest of the evening. On Saturday I had planned to go the beach with my friend Emma. She said it was best to go late afternoon and evening to avoid the intense sun. However Saturday morning arrived with light showers and muggy weather. We went to City Beach near Freemantle. Emma said it was to cold to go in, but I could not resist the water. It was wonderful, a little cold, but the air was so humid the water felt great. I love to swim! I love the Ocean! it had been too long since I had been at the beach. I only swam for 20 mins and then I changed and we had dinner. There was several fish and chip spots and we picked one Emma said was good. The fish and chips came wrapped in butcher paper, you could get malted vinegar, but tomato sauce cost extra (!?). I also got a Chiko Roll. Now I had heard of these things but had never tried one, so I thought it was time I did. A classic beach/carnival/summer fare so I am told (although Emma had never had one). I adventurously took a bite (see last pic)...not so much...a rather ordinary doughy crust with chicken, carrot and celery inside, sort of like an egg roll filled with swanson pot pie filling. Now I have no idea if I got a good or bad specimen of this classic Aussie treat, but I will not be searching them out again any time soon. The fish and chips defiantly made up for it though and it was a nice evening.___________a few things about the pictures. the guy in the shot of the beach was ducking so I could take my photo of the building, he did not realize I was taking a wide shot. and I seem to be flipping off my friend as I display my fish and chips, sorry about that, it was not intentional I assure you.
