English essay?
I sat down after unpacking my heavy luggage. I plopped down onto the nearest bed, exhausted dreaming about my mum's cooked-fried noodles. It was a relief to know I could just relax. When I woke up I was bewildered. "10 AM already!?" I got up, showered, and dressed in under 15. In my haste I had almost forgotten my backpack, quickly picking it up I ran out the door and down to the beach. The group was all there already waiting for me. They had left me a rather good looking horse so I climbed on and the tour began. Remembering the digital camera in my backpack, I pulled it out and took pictures of everything. The beautiful blue sky, calm clear ocean, happy children playing in the sand with their smiling families. It was a picture perfect moment. I had never imagined such a wonderful place. When the tour was concluded I got climbed off and my brother ran out ahead of me. Jumping into the the deep blue sea, he swam and played for hours. His infatuation with the sea, this extreme happiness, instilled a euphoria in me that I wished would never have to leave. I made the most of this lightened mood, living in the moment. My brother climbed out of the sea shivering; I covered him in a nice warm towel, and we walked along the sand, picking up the most fascinating seashells I had ever seen. That night our adventures continued. Barbeque chicken, chopped salad, and mashed potatoes made my stomach smile. We counted down the minutes to sunset and the red, purple and orange gave the ocean a lover's gleam. I smiled. Night was approaching, and we circled around a huge bonfire. My mouth longed to be sweetened like my already sweetened soul. So I picked up marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers to indulge in my favorite snack. Music blared, games were played, and I lay down beside the fire replaying the events of the day. I smiled and faded away into the bliss.
