When I
arrived this year, I was not sure if Lisa was going to be there or not.
We exchanged e-mails over the year and she said she "might" see me there but
let's face it, long distance relationships usually never work out. The
beach was really crowded when I arrived due to the Robert August Easter
Surfing Festival
which was
scheduled for the upcoming Easter
weekend
.
With all the people and surfing activities, I knew my chances of finding
Lisa were pretty slim even if she did come back.
This is one of the surfing contestants contributing to my crowd problem.
Here is another one, still no sign of
Lisa and the crowds are getting bigger.
Here I am, 3 days looking and still no luck. I needed to find out once
and for all if she was here (and I just couldn't find her in the crowds) or
if she wasn't coming back. I called my friends over at WKMG News
6 to see if they could help me out.
The
great people over at channel 6 gave me a spot on the evening news to ask the
public for some help finding Lisa. This was it, if she didn't
turn up after this then she obviously wasn't coming back.
I was asking everyone on the beach if they had seen Lisa.
I didn't know what else to do at this point. I had just about given up
all hope...
Then, while walking back to the condo along the beach, I heard some water splashing to my left
and when I turned to look - there she was with that beautiful smile I
thought I would never see again!
After all this, I was not going to take any chances letting her get away.
