Missing the SUN!

Oh how I miss home, my real home!
Nothing like the beautiful summer of Cape Verde.
If you are tired of winter, if it makes you weary all day; than this goes out to you.
Sun, warmth, nights of "luar", friends, conversations, laughter, the sun. Tranquility, smoothness. A bath at the beach to refresh your body, spirit and mind. Kids playing,and families gathering. People jogging, and walking through the beautiful sand. My grandpa walking through the streets,talking to people he had known his entire life, my cousin riding his bicycle.
Oh, how I miss those times when all I knew was the warmth of the morabeza of my beautiful "Petit Pays". Asking a friend to pass the baby-oil in order to achieve the perfect tan, the color kissed by the sun; laughter for life's enjoyment, and the vast ocean to purify my mind; when day dreaming had an endless limitation...
Going outside to get wet when it's raining (which only happens during 3 months a year, if we are lucky!)....surfers at the beach (thank God, they invented this sport!) to appreciate, flirt and look at. Looking doesn't hurt, does it? An afternoon spent at my friends' house, and then walking home through the streets that I once knew so well. (It has changed since last time I was home.)
Summer is really astonishing! People get together, they reunite by the sunlight, the mysteries are discovered during the nights full of stars and the moon shines from a distance, to put your whole body in shape, with a good session of yoga for relaxation. Ah! and how about when women with cramps, reunite to refresh by the warm afternoon of summer, while waiting for the Doce de Papaya and Freskinha (papaya jam and ice cream)....their vision is usually fulfilled by the lady that walk long hours from street to street in order to sale the goodies everyone craves...but in between good laughter, when we less expect, the vision becomes reality and the desires are achieved. Happenings of the summer...
By the waters of March, we all wait to perpetuate this scenario, but while we don't live near the tropics, like Cape Verde, we can only enjoy every moment and change with the season, when it decides to change, because the pace of life, that, no one can stop!
