Carboneras: A Short Story

This idyllic location is as picturesque as a postcard. It features gorgeous white sand beaches, soft breezes that are only strong enough to blow a few strands of hair into your

If you were forced to pick your paradise, where do you think your thoughts would take you? Would you go to the quaint wooden cabin in Michigan that has been in the family for years? Or would you think of your cozy apartment a top a skyscraper in your favorite concrete jungle? Without a second thought, my mind rushes to Pawley’s Island, South Carolina. As locals describe it best, the “elegantly shabby” beachside town 40 minutes from Charleston has been my chosen vacation spot since childhood. Between the hammock shops, crabbing in the creeks and ghost stories, there is always something to entertain you on the island. With only the best memories there, never did I think that there would be something to hold me back from indulging in the lazy

Stony sentry’s, carved years ago by Polynesian craftsmen, gaze over one of the most remote places in the world. With their land enlarged by overuse, islanders now draw on a revival of their culture to attract visitors. I intend to tell about this small island off the coast of Chile named Easter Island.

Aruba is an island of amazing contrasts. Maximum individuals are acquainted with the luxurious resorts set along white sand beaches. However, within just some miles of the immaculate beaches and tranquil waters, there is a cosmic array of unique environs and tourist sites, from the limestone cliffs and booming waves found at the California Lighthouse to the strange rock formations of Ayo and Casibari. Many such places rest along a dirt road that embraces the northern shore of Aruba, a place of natural splendor and extraordinary Caribbean views. Rested on a hilltop at the island's northernmost point, the California Lighthouse offers visitors some of the superlative views in Aruba. Though the lighthouse is only a short drive from Oranjestad,

Even though I was worried when we arrived here, I could still recognise that this island was beautiful. There were crystal waters and tropical palms. Sand that crunched beneath your feet and coral that decorated the ocean floor. Looks can be very deceiving though, Auntie. It didn’t stay beautiful for long and ever since we landed, I was praying that we would be rescued.

And it must not be forgotten, that knowledge also includes an understanding of one’s own culture, nation, and personal history which might be represented by a public monument. Yet Antigua lacks all of these marks that may indicate to a vacationer, that there, knowledge dwells. Then Kincaid abruptly and sarcastically shifts the subject to the beauty of an island. What does a lack of education, medical and technological advance, and culture matter in an island so beautiful? Why would “you,” a tourist, care about the absence of knowledge in “your” vacation destination? Kincaid successfully points out in a mordant tone that, absurdly, a lack of knowledge in Antigua is considered unimportant in wake of the tourist-attracting splendor of the island.

Every summer night on Tangier Island was filled with delicious food, amazing music, and energetic friends. The night started with pizza and root beer floats at a restaurant called Four Brothers. After a couple hours of talking and eating, we would walk around the tiny island listening to the song “Apple Bottom Jeans” and dancing like nobody was watching. Finally, the night ended after a few laps around the island on my best friend’s moped. No matter how many years have gone by, the exciting memories of summers on Tangier Island will stick with me forever. However, Tangier Island is much more than just my childhood memories. This disappearing, isolated island of Tangier has its own fascinating history and unique

The salty smell of Ecuador's ocean water assaults my nose. A slight gale whips my hair around my head as the ocean breeze hits me in full force. Cool blue water is on my right, the unmistakable color and texture of the sand to my front and back, and to my left, mountains, tall and green as they rise into the azure sky. As I slowly walk along the beach, contemplating what just happened, a light fog descends. Then and there, my life changes. I had no idea the effect that one word could have on my future.

It was a sunny Friday afternoon when I decided to take my observations with me out into the world. This day happened on my spring break, in the beginning of April, my senior year. As I walked upon the beach the salty, floating breeze of Panama City was enough to make my knees go weak. I looked into the clear blue sky and saw the perfection of life. I took a moment to gaze about what nature has offered to me. Everything on this beach has its own unique feel and it has its own way of making you feel calm and relaxed.

This one of a kind place captures all of the elements in their perfect and most striking form. The sky bolsters with eloquent colors, the warm sand caresses your toes, and the soothing waves break with the most perfect noise as to not break your focus on the sunset; it is just as captivating as a north poles aurora borealis. A certain feeling drifts along through a slight breeze on this sunset beach as you observe the sunset above the water. It is a warm and comforting feeling that most people can relate to when they experience the affects of love for the first time; a sudden rush of

Suddenly being aware of where we were, I choked up with emotion, tears filled my eyes and I was wholeheartedly captivated by the breathtaking beauty of Amalfi. Before me, jagged mountains sloping towards the sea made a dramatic backdrop for what appeared to be an imposing monastery built below the ancient remains of a castle. Picturesque, white buildings among pastel cream colored houses piled high on a rocky shore surrounded a predominant church boasting an extraordinary majolica dome. On the cliff above the harbor, the ever present traffic on the Amalfi Coast Road proceeded at a snail’s pace as it entered the resort town through a tunnel dug into a giant granite boulder.

Awaking in Madrid, Spain on the twenty second of August, 2007 with my two traveling companions, Doug my nephew and Terry my cousin. I recall the warmth of the heat on my face departing the airport via taxi in route to our hostel. The room had magnificent fourteen foot ceilings and grand iron French doors, opening onto a petite balcony overlooking the hustle and bustle of shoppers and vendors below. Regardless which direction your eyes skated, there was nothing but beauty surrounding me.
