We love the Beach
Take a beach towel, a tube of solar cream; Put on a set of bikini, a shirt and shorts; step on a pair of trendy sandals; add a pair of sun-glasses, then grab a hat...
We are going to the beach~~~
Île-d'Aix is the little Island near La Rochelle. isolated on the Atlantic ocean, the beach is quiet and beautiful. the sand gives out golden color under the summer sunshine. Some shining shells could often be found. The only way to get there is by boat. There are several inter-islands cruises setting off from La Rochelle almost every hour in the day time. For experiencing the exciting life on water, you could also take that fast-speed motorboat.
Saint Malo, is another city on the Atlantic ocean, facing the Great Britain. the beach is just under the walls of the old city. The shore is long enough that one could hardly walk to the end. In the morning when the tides go down and some creatures under the sand start to move. In the late afternoon the tides go up quickly, soon the whole beach is soaked up into the water.
Ostia is the sea near Roma, many restaurants are lining there with beaches at their back yards. It is pleasant to enjoy your meal while facing the sea. The beach is on meditereanian Ocean, you could feel the heat, even the sand is burning with the color of dark bronze.
Sanya - white sand, blue sky and coconut treas. The trip reminded me of De Botton's description of a trip to Babados. Just slow down and enjoy the way time idles away.

Ponte Sant'Angelo
Ponte Sant'Angelo is the bridge in front of the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. On the bridge exquisite statutes of angels are standing with different gestures. Their tender look makes us set aside something lousy and purefies our heart and soul.

Bruges, Another City on Water
Bruges, little city on water, is considered as "the Venice of the North". The main architecture style here is Flemish, with its "zigzag" top. There are several canals passing through the city. The most convenient transportation here is the carriage running with horses. The steps of horses make out an endearing melody floating on the water and passing through the city.

Les Roses
The rose, is a song of love and happiness.
Without a word, your heart is delivered;
With a touch of it, the decoration is done;
With its fragrance, your stress is released.
