Unreal.
How I lived 26 years of my life without genuinely witnessing a sunset is beyond me. As my friend and I neared the end of our trip, practically doing everything possible on the island, we wanted to go to the beach. My friend asked me where a beautiful beach was on the island and instantly I thought of Menemsha, not because I spent a lot of time there, but because of word of mouth on the island. We grabbed our two beach chairs and sat at the edge of the water, letting the tide hit our feet. Around us were tons of families, friends, and couples, laying around just enjoying the day. As the sun was closer and closer to setting, we realized that everyone on the beach was waiting for the sunset, most holding wine or beer in hand. We spend a large amount of our approaching evening there to discover why so many people had continued to stay as the sun was falling. The sunset on this beach was something that you hear about in movies. It was a perfect sunset, the only sunset I have ever witnessed. I always felt like the idea of watching a sunset was so pointless until I experienced it. Sitting with my friend, both talking about nothing and everything while waiting to see this beautiful experience is perhaps one of my favorite memories on this island. It felt so calming, safe, beautiful, and just unreal. I didn't take a picture, because if I did it really would not have done it justice, but here is a picture of how remarkable the beach really is.
Enjoy the journey.
