Just the sea. It looks the same a million years ago as it did last Wednesday. The same waves, the evening sun creating the same palette, and the days are still as humid, stifling, and heavy as ever. It isn’t that calm, postcard turquoise blue – but you still feel the urge to cool down. The water seems to invite you into the soft tide; to swim, to submerge, to just sit there, or simply to go and get lost somewhere within it.
