Sea Glass Tower

Here I am....in Myrtle Beach! The tall blue building shown in the picture above is the Sea Glass Tower. It is 20 stories tall and I am on the 19th floor! And it is GORGEOUS! I have never in my life been privy to such a stunning view as I have here.

When I walked into the condo, it was twilight and the lights from the city were just coming on. The walls of the condo are glass from floor to ceiling so when I walked in, all I could see was the ocean and the beach in front of me and to the right side of me I could see the entire Grand Strand. All I could think of to say was, "Oh my God!!!" It truly rendered me speechless and that in itself was a feat!

It has just been total relaxation here...I do whatever I want to do and go whereever I want to go, which hasn't been to very many places....since the only thing I have really wanted to do is to just stay in the condo and admire the beautiful scenery surroundng me. HOWEVER, yesterday I did do something that I had long wanted to do and that was to go bungee jumping! What a hoot! It was different than what I had expected....it all happened so fast I hardly had time to think...but it was really fun!

Once a day I meander down to Pier 14 for lunch out on the ocean and read a book and relax. Pier 14 is that little brown building with the pier sitting in front of the Sea Glass Tower with the red and white flag in front of it. They serve delicious seafood soup and sandwiches in there and I just love spending a relaxing time there.

I also love walking the beach in the mornings. The first day I was here it was raining too hard...in fact it rained all day, but since then I have walked every day just enjoying the ocean breeze and the peacefulness. I love watching the people on the beach, I love watching the birds, and I love the sounds of the ocean. I keep my balcony door open all the time so that I can always hear the waves. Today a flock of pelicans flew by at eye level to my balcony. How beautiful they looked!

This is the first time I have come to Myrtle Beach and not gone to a lot of shows. I think that I've been to every major show here. My favorite by far is Dolly Parton's show, the Dixie Stampede. You get to eat dinner with your fingers and watch a great show as well. I was tempted to go this time as well, but decided I just wanted this trip to be me, the ocean, the beach, and the view. It has been soooo relaxing! I wish for a time like this for everyone.
