The Difference between Locals & Tourists





My husband & I went back to my hometown last week. Of course we wanted to hit the beach, so I took him to The Wedge. It's a famous beach for body-surfing - although the waves are quite small this day. We hadn't even set-down our towels, when he started asking where all the "stuff" was. Having grown up on the beach - it never occurred to me to go to the main tourists spots where they have over-priced ice cream and bathrooms. But I was game - so we went to the pier.

It was pretty crowded for a September Saturday. After paying $8 for parking, we picked a place. Sadly , the place was right next to this group of teenagers and adults. I say sadly, because this was a group of teens that have no hope of accomplishing anything significant in life. Their "role-models"/adults were drinking cheap beer by noon and dropping the mf-bomb as if it were a preposition. This went on for more than 2 hours - it was pathetic. These kids have no hope - and these adults have no clue. It takes so much to offend me - and these adults did it in less than 2 hours. We finally got up and went for a walk.


On the upside, my husband is hot - and the overpriced ice cream was soooooooooo good!
