Yesterday we drove out to Fire Island. Our main reason was really to get a new stamp in our passports. My dad and Ignat joined us as well.Today was one of the first days of the spring — the weather was great. The sky was a bit dark, but it was really warm still. When we parked on the island and got out of the car the first thing we heard was the sound of the waves breaking on the sandy beaches of Fire Island, even though the ocean itself wasn’t visible. The air was amazingly fresh too.
We took a wooden path through the dunes right to the old lighthouse that is a museum now. That’s where the passport can be stamped. On our way we saw a bunch of deer and Alena spotted a rabbit eating something in the grass. We tried to see it, but just weren’t able, until the rabbit started scratching his ear with his back paw. His fur was the same color as the bushes and the grass and he was really hard to see.When we got our passports stamped Ignat decided that he wants to get a passport as well. Luckily most of those places do sell the passports, so he got one right away and got it stamped as well.
Then we walked out to the beach. The ocean does look magnificent. The sky was covered with dark grey clouds and because of the wind the waves where very high. It was like the ocean telling us — don’t mess with me now!But soon summer will take over and we’ll definitely have to go back to Fire Island for a swim in the Atlantic Ocean itself.
P. S. Today we got 2 more stamps at Floyd Bennett Field and at a park in Breezy Point, NY.
