Recommended: Essay on venice
It has been a little over a month since we have visited Venice. I absolutely love it here. The hotel where my family is staying overlooks the sea, where I spend most of my time playing in the water with friends. The cool water is a satisfying way to refresh after a long hot day of walking through the city. There are many people who go to the beach, but recently I have noticed a man who is always there when I am. I try not to overthink the situation, but every time I notice him, he is starting at me. I have not told anyone, nor have I been too worried about it because Venice is a big city and many tourists come here to relax and vacation at the beach, but his stare is intriguing to me. When our eyes meet and I feel that he wants to tell me something; however, he does not move. He just sits there staring and before I can approach him, I hear …show more content…
I am excited to go back home to all my friends, but Venice is such a fun city that it will be hard to leave. Just as I am recognizing the elegance in the city, I see that there is just one other gondola on the water and fairly close to our boat. There is only one man on there, seems lonely to me, but when I look closer, I notice it is the man again. At first when I noticed the man staring I was just curious about who he was and what he wanted; however, now on the river, I am a bit uncomfortable. This man has been stalking me this entire day, beginning at the church. I wonder if I should tell my family about him, but telling them might cause a scene and maybe it is more than I think it is. The fact that he fails to approach us is frightening and I begin to think that he might harm us in some way, but I shut that thought down immediately because he really does not look like a dangerous person. The short instances we have had of friendly eye contact, I noticed that he is an amiable person, but is just too shy to approach
Although it has been years since our most recent visit to the shore side of Ocean City, New Jersey, the memories and senses never abandon my mind. All I can recall is the wondrous combination of the scorching heat, the grainy sand in between my toes, and the overwhelming smell of salt and delicious foods . . . I feel as if I am standing right there right now! Who could ever relinquish the beauty of the shore, the healing the shore accomplishes, and the tastes of the wondrous foods?
I totally felt comfortable with him until the moment he ask me for my number, maybe I remind him of someone or maybe by me giving him the extra attention I imply something, in my opinion I stayed very professional. All of sudden I felt uncomfortable, I felt he was invading my privacy, he was crossing the boundary by asking me for my telephone number. But I also felt that I could not tell him that it was inappropriate for me to give him my number. Maybe I felt this way because he reminded me of my grandfather and he might have been hurt if I reject his number, yet I was aware giving him my number was not the right thing to do, so I walked away.
There I stand on the Atlantic Ocean beach in Daytona, Florida. It’s 7:49 A.M, June 28, 2015. I feel my size ten feet sink into the frosty sand. With my board in my left arm, and sand covering my body, I seize my direction towards the blue ocean. As I halt at the base of the monumental ocean, I gaze in both directions, not a life in sight. I feel at peace, solitude, in my own meager world. As the crisp ocean mist wipes my sand replete face, I bounce into the ocean with my board under my body, cruising into the profound blue sea.
The tiles were still dirty from the residue of chlorine and pittle combined into one thick layer of impossible gunk. This gunk surrounded the edge of pool right where the water met the lowest part of the tile and was even apparent underneath the shallow water fountain around the back end. The ring had been worn away in spots where the missus had got so fed up that she was gonna put an end to this "ring of filth" once and for all. A few times she had started, but had always found a broken nail or straying hair to become spontaneously obsessive about when her arm got tired of scrubbing.
The veteran Wooster police officer likes to head south for vacations, and he eyes two destinations: St. Augustine, Fla., and the Caribbean.
A new day has begun. Slowly ascending into the cold dark sky, the sun glows vibrantly with delight. The passionate colours fill the sky with warmth like the pink grapefruits, zesty lemons, citrus oranges and cherry red. The sea so subtle sparkles preciously as it strolls up against the shore. The crystal water that stretch out far into the horizon gets darker and deeper but stays very calm.
About a month ago I was standing in the main aisle of Ace chatting with Lambert, one of my coworkers. As we were talking, I noticed a guy approaching us. When I looked over my shoulder, I saw him stare right into my eyes, so I knew he needed some help. This was a big guy. He must have been 5’10” and 350 pounds, but it wasn’t exactly like he was fat. He was the kind of guy that had a lot of muscle, and then he had a layer of fat over that. This dude’s forearms were bigger than my lower legs. He had short, brown hair with a receding hairline. He had on work clothes, and he was sporting a big pair of wire-rimed glasses. These are the kind of glasses my grandpa would wear. This guy was probably in his late 40’s, but his karma made him appear much older. Anyway, as he’s approaching, I asked him if...
As I lay on the minute golden grains of sand, I looked up at the brilliant sky, adorned with flashes of pink and orange and purple, mirroring the colours of a flawless seasoned apricot. The goddess-like sun’s face is being embraced by the demure navy fingertips of the skyline.
Fishing is one of the most popular forms of outdoor recreation in the United States. Estimates of the rate of participation and number of persons 16 years and older participating range from 17% or 35.2 million to 29% or 57.9 million (USDOI and USDOC 1997; Cordell et al.1999).Fishing is popular outdoor activity than other activities because it low cost and physical demands.

André and I met about two years ago in Sorbonne University of Paris, I was 21 years old and studied languages and he was 22 years old and studied Journalism. I was late for my class and was in a hurry, I didn’t look where I was going and I accidentally bumped into him, all my books fell just like in the movies, I looked at him, he was very handsome, he had blond hair, eyes of emerald green and a perfect bone structure. I apologized picked up my books and rushed over to my class, I figured it was the last time I will ever see him again, well except maybe on a Calvin Klein underwear campaign but not in person. Fortunately I was wrong, the next day we bumped into each other again in a small coffee near the university, he recognized me, and asked if he could seat with me, I agreed. We immediately clicked, we talked about our courses, teachers, friends and our origin, at first I was a bit hesitant if I should tell him that I was a Jew from Israel because of all the Anti-Semitic people in France, but I was and still am proud of who I am, and so I told him, and I was thrilled when he told me that he was Jewish too. After talking for two whole hours, he noticed that he was late for an appointment, so we exchanged numbers and went each one his different way. Since that day we started seeing each other regularly but only as friends, I fell in love with him very quickly, he was smart, funny, charismatic, good looking and he always made me feel better. The problem was that he...
Ever since Sunset Beach has been officially opened to the public, there has been a drastic increase of tourists present. Television programs concluded that at least a thousand people visit the beach everyday. Reasons for their stay are that they feel comfortable with the environment that surrounds the beach front, people who are at the beach are joyous and numerous activities to enjoy, and the fresh scent of the sparkly waters, make the visitors feel calm and pleasurable. So I decided to take a trip there.
I listen to the constant roar of motors as the dirt bikes and go-carts race around the small track behind me. For a few (usually uneventful) hours every Tuesday, I work at the ticket and rider registration booth; collecting money and making everyone sign the if-you-die-you-can’t-sue-us forms. As usual, I was signing in a few riders and spectators at my station; as I listened to my ipod in one ear I completed my task that I had done hundreds of times before. However, this time something distracted me, something that made me lose my rhythm in completing the current customer’s registration. That something turned out not to be the usual bike, go-cart, or anything with a gas or break. That something turned out to be a guy. He stood in the line and watched the motocrossers lay the bikes sideways in the air and land it, making it look easy as pie. However, at that moment I couldn’t have cared less about the motocross race going on right next to me, there could have been a massive bike pile up and it wouldn’t have brought me out of this odd trance. Regarding looks, he seemed absolutely perfect. His skin was a nice tan probably from riding in the sun, his eyes were piercing blue and he was the perfect height. I quickly realized that I had been ignoring the customer that I was currently helping, and kept stealing glances his way to take another look. I finished up the current customer and sent him on his way, probably wondering why this girl was so distracted the entire time. Never the less I worked through the next customer quickly in order to have a chance to talk to this mysterious guy. I kept stealing glances over at him until finally it was his turn to be signed in. As he walked up I met his gaze and he smiled. He looked even more beau...

I use any excuse to walk along the ocean, especially alone and without my phone. The wind blew cold air, but the sun’s warm rays kept my body at a perfect temperature. It was three in the afternoon and I was calm.
I think we all have a beautiful place in our mind. I have a wonderful place that made me happy a lot of times, years ago. But sometimes I think that I am the only person who likes this place and I'm asking myself if this place will be as beautiful as I thought when I will go back to visit it again. Perhaps I made it beautiful in my mind.
