Last summer I went to the Black sea with my parents. We stayed there for a fortnight. I went swimming every day. The weather was wonderful all the time, the water was warm and clean. We bathed and watched small fishes and jelly fish in the water. Sometimes we saw sea stars or sea shells there. Once we even saw a dolphin. We often sat on the beach and watched ships sailing in the distance or looked at numerous seagulls gliding over the sea. We ate ice-cream and fruit on the beach and lay in the sun. I had a nice tan by the end of our rest. I made a lot of friends and we played volleyball on the beach. Every morning we had nice breakfast and a small run along the coast.
My days were full of different events and on coming back home in the evening I was exhausted but slept with a smile on my face.
In a word, I had a wonderful time, and unforgettable experiences. Next year I will certainly go to the seaside again.
