Friday morning beach walk

Anyone who’s loved in the Middle East will tell you Friday mornings are very quiet. And now they’re even more so.. perfect time to get out.
I was given a lift to the beach and had a good walk, same route as the week before. I stopped and talked to a British family who said I could swim in the ocean in my Western swimsuit. Happy! But not today, didn’t bring it. Saw this little park which I hadn’t last week. A nice spot to sit. A plane flew over; many students are being flown back this weekend before the airport shuts in two days. I walked most of the way home but gave up when I saw a taxi; I’d been out for two hours and was hot and thirsty.
Spent the rest of the day at home.
