We skipped our yearly Christmas stay in Katwijk aan de Zee in December. Especially in the wintertime, we like to walk over an empty beach, feeling the wind in our hair and the sand peeling our faces.
Although it was a gray day in Grayland, we went for a beach walk. The Pacific Ocean and the beach are only one mile from our cottage. The beach reminded me of the Waddenzee with its white sand, mud flats, and tidal trenches. The wind, the rain, and the stroll on the beach helped to deal with the jet lag.
