Hot Summer Afternoon On The Beach

Everybody loves beaches. But different nations have their particular ways to enjoy this kind of relaxation, meditation. If you observe the shore where Italians come in summer, you can notice they prefer to lay on the sand, not to swim. They enter the water only for some minutes and enjoy sunbathing at the beach all the rest of the day.
Here we are: Look at this group of young men. They walk near the water just for about an hour. After some time, two of them enter into the water and play in it. One of them swims not too far from the beach and turns back soon.
A mother with two children stays in the sea watching over them. Her daughter is not so little and follows a lady, surely not an Italian, which swims away far from the beach, where the water is cleaner.

The foreshore is so full of bodies, relaxing on their towels and deck chairs that the new visitors and the sellers of any kind of unnecessary things have been jostling for space. One man looks at the back of a young woman lying too near to him with the absence in the face and an eye that always turns back to that interesting view. A seller of the beach clothes passes between them. The girl stands up and follows the seller to a free spot where he can pose his merchandise. Could you see the expression of the face of that man when he finally turns back to his entertainment?
A big ship arrives and stops near the beach. Many persons, curious, walk along the waterfront to the end of the pier to see this white beauty better and to take some photos. After 10 minutes the ship enters the harbor and the crowd turns back to their towels. Just another 10 minutes and everybody can understand why it needed this shortstop. The waves begin to throw the content of its toilet on the beach.

Despite this disgusting event, nothing changes on the beach. The mother and her children splash in the water, the guys turn back to play a beach ball, and only the foreign woman, cursing, goes out of the sea, picks up her things and, indignant, leaves the beach.
Some moments pass and the happy, relaxed community doesn't remember more the little incident of this afternoon.
