Hey There Pondy! - Part 7

The beach we hit was like none I've been to before. The sand was grainy. It got in our pant pockets. It weighed the pants down. Very irritating. But we did not notice any of this when in the water. It took me a while, but I realized that the beach was pretty dangerous. The undercurrents close to the shore were very powerful. The beach sank so deep all of a sudden, it was shocking. Yes, we had fun. But I've had better beach days. When I finally got out of the water, my skin was raw from the grainy sand.

But what was fun about the beach was what we did after we got out of the water. Krit suggested we cover him up in sand and make him a mermaid. Our mermaid... if you can even call it that, turned out to look very different from the cute ariel we know. Again, for reasons known and unknown, I can't tell you what it looked like though.

That was a lot of fun. A lot. That wasn't all. The beach had a lot of things we did not see everyday. Or at every beach. We saw a french lady in a bikini, one in a swimsuit, and a very very old man in HIS swimsuit. The first was chilling on the beach with the local dog. Literally. The second and the third went for a swim in the beach! All I could do was stare at the old man swimming. I've never gone that far down into the beach. Another thing to do before I die.

Anyway, we finally got tired of the beach and the heat. We were hungry, and by default we wanted to eat pizza. Why? Because on the way to the beach, we saw many restaurants that served pizza. Oh yeah! So we got out of the beach after dressing in the little rooms of the guests resort. The amount of sand we shed in those little rooms was astounding!

The moment we got onto the bikes, I knew I was hungry enough to gorge down a whole pizza. I have eaten pizzas. A lot of them. I love pizza. But never before had I eaten a firewood oven pizza. They are absolutely the best you'll ever have. In the hungry condition that we were, when we arrived at Georgio's pizza place, we were relieved.

We rushed in and ordered as soon as we could. 2 non-veg, 3 veg. 7 soft drinks. 2 soups. 1 pasta. Gone in 1 hour. The amazingly thin and crustless base of the pizzas were a treat to the mouth. My mouth waters just at the thought of those delicious pizzas. The toppings were ample. And very tasty. The soups were gourmet. Silky smooth and perfect to the last grain of salt. The pasta like none I've tasted before. The flavor of the herbs was eminent in the pasta. The creamy sauce of the pasta had just the right taste. The food melted in our mouth. I did make sound like a 10 thou meal. It cost us a mere 750. Yeah. Now you wanna go to Pondy too don't you?
