Postcard from the ocean

Dear Charlie,
A holiday time without being able to see this is not real vacation for me. I've spent all my summers here and I would change it for nothing on earth. My family has owned a house in La Tranche Sur Mer (85) since 1999 and we have spent a complete month every year since then. I know every single part of this town, I know where to buy the best ice creams, where to find the biggest waves, where to meet new people or where to find peace and silence at the best moment of the day. It's a family place where my whole family is finally reunited and where we always have friends over because they are all happy to come see the ocean. That's so alive. Every year, I do the same, I spend my days surfing or tanning, hanging out with friends or building sand castles, playing games or riding my bike around the town. The only thing I hope is that I will be able to spend these same days every year at this same place with the same people for the rest of my days. That's for sure : the 9 hours to get there are valuable!
Take care,
Céline
