The moment that I will never forget The scorching sun was beating against my olive‚ gold skin as a drop of sweat trickled down my face‚ slowly and gradually. The glorious scenery dazzled‚ the cool‚ summer breeze blew through my lush brown locks. Deep blue ocean tide’s lapped against my feet like a soft tender kiss and retreated slowly.
