Staying Strong

At the beach shop buying my sand toys.

The cashier asked to see John’s ID.

She said, “Utah? What are you doing here?”
“We came to see the beach. We used to live in Utah, but we live in Texas now.”

She said, “I’m going home to my country soon. I’ve been waiting for months. How do you like Texas?”

I said, "He likes it. I’m homesick, but I like the beach.”


As we were leaving she called out “STAY STRONG!”

This is part of a palm tree.


We also got to swim with jelly fish.
