Embroidered Collage

  I was wearing slacks and a light jacket and there were people swimming in the ocean.  It made me cold to watch them, but it was nice to stand on the beach and watch the ocean and taste the salt in the air.  The look of the beach itself was much like those I'm more familiar with in North Carolina.  It just happened to be about forty five minutes due west from Amsterdam. 

The second evening of the meeting we spent on the beach playing volleyball and other games and then had dinner at one of the club buildings, still on the beach but above the tide's reach.  I didn't sketch anything that evening, but I did do some visual journaling from memory once I returned to my room.
