I like the beach more than I realized

So the last few days I've gone to hang out at various beaches. The first beach I went to was packed, I went to attempt to get a workout in on the beach, with multiple soccer games. I'm not kidding it was miles worth of various soccer games. The other was when I went to the beach by my office...its probably a block away. This was much less crowded and I was able to watch some dudes fish off of a little pier. The coolest part to me is that you can drive on the beach. I saw a car with its tail gate open about two feet from the water. And today I had lunch at this little pizzeria on the beach. I was there for a while....sitting in the shade and reading, it was very peaceful. Not to mention way less people out and about on the weekend.

So yesterday we had our villa measured for blinds. Emran spoke pretty poor english but we still were able to communicate. He's been here for 15 years and is originally from Bangladesh. We actually talked about Islam and how to Emran Islam meant peace and he actually said I don't want to kill anyone. So he gave me the run down of how the terrorists came about. He explained that the terrorist have misinterpretted one part of the quran and then teach that misinterpretation to young minds. All of this was not easy to understand from Emran, but he was able to communicate how they cheat and brainwash these little boys minds. He was very explicit that Islam was not found by the sword and informed me that terrorism was everywhere. He was smart enough to realize that the news has done the middle east a great injustice.
