Receding wave at high tide on Langosta Beach

The timeless and endless advance and recession of waves on the beach is for some reason relaxing, almost mesmerizing.  The appeal of the ocean is universal.

When I visit with my wife's grandmother, who is in her 90's and living in a care home, she talks about her time visiting the beach as a young person.  She reminisces when I show her photos of Costa Rica as I load up my Daily Photo posts in advance while sitting with her, often during the commercials while watching a baseball game with her, which she likes to do.

Today's photo is the same scene as I showed yesterday, after a wave momentarily covered the sand before receding and allowing us to walk down the beach back to our condo.

This week we have photos of Angkor Wat and other temples of Siem Reap, Cambodia, on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

So, this place is an inherited taste, eh, drawn from Julie's family? I wondered how you chose it.

The beach is a perfect place to relax and enjoy mother nature. I can see why you have a condo in Costa Rica.
