I have never swum in the sea. And – even though I had already seen it – I had never experienced the feeling of what it is like to be inside of it... They say it is salty. That September in Cascais, the beach was crowded. Everyone was basking in the last of the autumn sun, enjoying the water, and children were leaving those tiny footprints in the sand. I had to at least taste it. And so – dressed as a tourist in my shoes, with a camera in my hand – I walked so close that I could touch it. Then, acting as inconspicuously as possible so those around me wouldn’t wonder what I was doing, I licked my hand and... it is salty. So beautifully, sea-salty...
