In the hectic world of work deadlines, raising a family or looking after loved ones it’s often difficult to make yourself take a “time out” and allow your mind to wander and think about pleasant thoughts. Sometimes even ten minutes is enough to revitalize your mind and energy.
“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.” – Sydney J. Harris
What could be more relaxing and cooling than enjoying a delicious dinner in a beautiful venue as your feet are being warmed in the Caribbean Sea? We enjoyed many delicious dinners at The Flying Fishbone in Savaneta, Aruba during the winter months we spent there.
One day while hiking along Marginal Way in Ogunquit Maine it was hard not to notice this couple. They look so relaxed sitting on the cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and listening to the waves break among the rocks as they shared a bottle of champagne with lunch.
Recently we visited several counties around the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Sea on a Mediterranean cruise. One evening in Venice we spent time enjoying picturesque St. Mark’s Square as the sun was setting. Couldn’t help but notice the interesting looking couple relaxing as they enjoyed the beautiful evening at the stature of St. Mark’s Lion.
Riding in a gondola in Venice was a real treat as it quietly moved through the Venetian lagoon. It was a wonderful, relaxing evening listening to the beautiful accordion music from a nearby gondola while viewing the colorful medieval buildings along the canal. This particular gondola caught my eye when we noticed the gondolier’s dog on board who apparently is a regular!
What better way to relax than to surround yourself with the beauty of nature… This is a relaxing scene of the Atlantic Ocean taken from behind the Ogunquit Museum of American Art in Ogunquit, Maine. The homes in the background are at the mouth of The Basin in Perkins Cove.
