Querencia essay (final draft)

     After a very long week of school, chores, and work i can finally relax on the sandy beach of Hanauma bay. This is what i have been looking forward to for weeks. Now that I'm here all I need to do is to enjoy myself with my family. As I enter the ramp towards the beach I enjoy the view and look for a free space where nobody is. the beach is packed and we have been pacing around the Beach for a while now. Now that we have a perfect spot in a shady tree all I need to worry about is how the water is. 

     Today was a good day to go to the beach because the weather was warm enough to make you want to go to the beach. I have always loved the weather of the beaches on the islands of Hawaii. The reason for this is because it is always beach weather all year round. My thoughts on todays weather however was very interesting because for a sunny day, there were not as much people in the beach as I expected.

     I took this advantage  grab my snorkeling mask and just dashed towards the water having no care of whats going to stop me. As I raced through the shore, I can feel my feet get burned from the sand. As I arrived at the water, I took a few seconds to breath in that sea breeze. The best thing about swimming is the first dive into the water just because you want to feel the cool refreshing feeling that you haven't felt in a while. Diving onto the water feels as if you have just washed away all of what has been on you mind that has been bugging you lately.

     As I raised back up to the surface to put on my mask I can see that the rest of the people are enjoying themselves. I'm not surprised that I'm not the only one that like this place because for a beach, it has a lot to offer. looking through the mask underwater is like looking through another world. You can see colonies of fish swimming right pass you. It reminds me of a small fish neighborhood with a variety of colorful fishes

     When I go to this place its as if I could just stay here for a very long time. I will never get used you the sunshine that covers the beach like a blanket and also how the view of the water and the horizon is always so outstanding. Just thinking of leaving makes me want to look forward to coming here again next time. I dont even think of school, chores, and work.
