A mellow day on the beach.

Unawatuna, 29-10-1994. Together with Michael and Terry - a friend of Michael - we spent a mellow day on the beach. In Unawatuna once the rain stops all sorts of small, little places open up. Restaurants where you never expected one, or souvenir shops, some of them as small as a telphone booth. Also locals walking up and down the beach trying to sell beach wear, marionets and incense. Local tourists changing into their bathing suits using their towels in a vain attempt at hiding their nudity. Many new faces on the beach today I`ve not seen before. Where were they when it rained? Probably hiding in their hotel rooms. Most of them exremely white, trying to soak up as much sun as they can. Yea, trying to soak the sun right into their pores and getting a sun tan before flying home and face their 8 to 5 shifts at the job, their friends and relatives and their neighbors.
