You see, I do not necessarily care for the blistering hot days southern Florida is known for. I enjoy the beach the most when it is cooler; especially when it has just rained. I sit back in my beach chair and look up to the sky. The clouds create a pleasant, refreshing blanket from the hot sun. I take a deep breath and, I can smell the rain that has just fallen. Now, the clouds are breaking and letting little slivers of sunlight shine threw. The new sun seems to change the color of everything. The sand is a bright white with speckles of glittering shells. The ocean is a deep shade of aqua with the sunlight glistening over it. This is…

This beach is perfect for lovers of nature. The beach is undeveloped and secluded. Since the natural essence of the beach has been largely undisturbed, it is full of beautiful dunes that look the way nature intended them to.…
Independence Day, since the first signing of the Declaration of Independence, has been a nationwide victorious day filled with cheer in celebration of the United States gaining freedom from the British Crown. The Declaration of Independence stated itself that, “[they] hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are the Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” but what’s not commonly grasped is that the effects of the Declaration of Independence did not at all do what it was expected of. Frederick Douglass, however, did realize the results were unsatisfactory.…
Although it currently stands as a restaurant, it was once a site for famous movies, such as Casino Royale. While admiring the panoramic view of the extensive ocean, several aromas drifted into perceptiveness, such as salt water and the honey of croissants. When we sat down to eat, the waiters would pull out our straw-woven chairs for us and place fancifully folded napkins on our laps. In addition, they addressed me in a formal manner, asking, “What will you have to drink, governor,” or “Your choice of entree, sir?” Never have I experienced such politeness from a waiter. Compared to Omaha, the waiters were genteel and considered us to be royalty. A break from the American way of life where we converse and behave informally, this eye-opening experience allowed me to appreciate the cordiality and politeness that Bahamians…
Every generation needs to be acquainted with our country’s hard fought struggle for freedom. It’s a history of heroics and hypocrisy, brutality and mercy, and one where much has been lost, but much also gained, in the struggle to ensure that the dream in the Declaration of Independence reaches all America’s. The love of freedom, admiration of Douglass, and shared commitment to freedom is what brought these…
The Declaration of Independence is the US’s most iconic document. One of the best known set of words included in this document say the following:…
For centuries of years the United States has been attracting immigrants from a variety of different countries, races, and religions to come live in a land full of freedom and opportunity. These people were looking for more than just rights and privileges. Their real desire was to become something that depicts pride and honor, an American. Being an American means much more than living in the United States. Along with the name come a number of different benefits such as, freedom of speech to express your own opinion, freedom of religion, and equality for all, including different sexes, races, religions and status.…
The Declaration of Independence did not merely signal the birth of American freedom and American self-government. It marked the birth of freedom as an international idea. It was the inspiration for democratic movements on other continents. It raised the torch of liberty and kindled an undying flame.…
Although society’s thoughts have changed from then to now, the ideas included in the Declaration of Independence are still the same. Writing the Declaration was seen as a form of rebellion, but to those writing it, it was a chance to reinvent themselves as a new nation, finally…
This is the most popular beach on the island, and it is also the one that kids love the best. The water is warm and calm, so children have a great time playing along the shore and even swimming in the water. The sand is white and inviting to play with for the smallest of your children. There is a…
America is a unique individual with several defining qualities. Loudness and quietness coexisting in one place is remarkable and truly beautiful. Ocean City, New Jersey is a breathtaking place, as is America. Being on the beach is what I look forward to the most while preparing for vacation. Silence envelops my body on the beach, and yet waves crash down as adults and children scream and play. The most amazing part about the shore is tanning. Not because I like to get darker, but because I feel as though the sun embraces my body and gives me warmth—it’s a sense of ease, a sense of comfort. Even on the boardwalk, there’re so many people everywhere talking, laughing, eating—but the food is a completely different story. Anyway, being on top of a ride is exhilarating, yet so serene. It’s almost as good as one of my best recollections from vacation.…
Some people enjoy vacationing at the beach. The warm climate is one of the biggest selling points when deciding on a beach vacation. You can enjoy warm weather activities like swimming picnicking or volleyball. Or you can just completely relax. Lay out in the sand with your feet in the water and a cold beverage, soaking up the sunshine. Beach vacations are usually most prominent in towns and cities geared towards tourists, which are packed with things to do like restaurants and shopping.…
Everyone has that special place where they can go to escape all the pressures and worries of life, that wonderful spot where you can go to soothe all your complications and stress. Imagine for a moment what that place is for you. A place that makes you feel complete and captivated. For me, the beach is that ultimate place that is unlike any other I have ever experienced. While I am there all my obligations are immediately erased. The moment I step onto the satiny, warm sand and see the magnificent view of the deep blue ocean my whole world changes. Time stands still and the only thing that matters to me is the very moment that I am living in and each breath God has given me. I am surrounded by the most mesmerizing, graceful, and majestic place on Earth.…
