We went to Coney Island today. We took the subway to Brooklyn where we had to change train. The second train was going in slow motion so we decided to actually get off and get a taxi instead. We started off with hotdogs from Nathan’s and then we walked down to the beach. A lot of people today. We found a spot we liked, got set up and then a family came and sat down next to us. They played extremely loud Bob Marley music on a huge speaker facing us. It was too loud for our ears so we ended up moving away from them. Poor kids who has to listen to that all day.
Anyway. It was nice to be on the beach. It’s not very clean there and you have to be careful not to step on glass but as long as you have a big blanket its fine. I have not been in the ocean since our trip to Mexico in January 2014 so I definitely had to go in. I didn’t stay long in the water though because there was a lot of seaweed and plastic bottles, cups and other crap, but I am glad that I could cool off at least. After 1,5 hour we packed our things, walked around the area a little before we took a taxi home again to be with Thor.
Even if the beach isn’t the greatest, it is still nice that we have access to go to a beach. I grew up near the beach and the ocean and I miss it a lot especially during the summer. But I also love to enjoy the city life. We will not live here forever so it’s nice to experience the Manhattan summers now.
Vi akte till Coney Island idag. Vi tog tunnelbanan till Brooklyn dar vi behovde byta tag. Det andra taget gick i slow motion sa vi beslutade att faktiskt kliva av och ta en taxi istallet. Vi borjade med hotdogs fran Nathan’s och sen gick vi ner till stranden. Mycket folk idag. Vi hittade en plats vi gillade, kom till ratta och snart kom en familj och satte sig bredvid oss. De spelade extremt hog Bob Marley musik fran en stor hogtalare vand mot oss. Det var sa hogt for vara oron att vi tillslut flyttade oss darifran. Stackars barnen som behover lyssna pa det hela dagen.
Iaf. Det var trevligt att vara pa stranden. Det ar inte sarskilt rent dar och man maste vara forsiktig med att inte trampa pa glas men sa lange man har en filt ar det ok. Jag har inte varit i havet sedan var resa till Mexico i januari 2014 so jag behovde verkligen ga i. Jag stannade inte sa lange i vattnet dock eftersom dar fanns mycket tang och plast flaskor, muggar och annat skrap, men jag ar glad att jag kunde svalka mig iaf. Efter 1,5 timme packade vi ihop, promenerade i omradet en stund innan vi tog en taxi hem igen for att vara med Thor.
Aven om stranden inte ar den basta, sa ar det iaf trevligt att vi har tillgang till att aka till en strand. Jag vaxte upp nara en strand och havet och jag saknar det mycket speciellt pa sommaren. Men jag alskar ocksa att uppleva city life. Vi kommer inte att bo har for alltid sa det ar nice att uppleva Manhattan sommar nu.
