so today i finally made it to the beach, after talkin about going for 2 months. went to south beach on staten island. only took an hour and a half and it was free transportation. not too bad in comparison to 3 hours out to long island for $20. but anyway, laid out for 2 1/2 hours and got completely burnt :) it couldn't have been a better day! it was in the lower 80s and the sun was shining bright and there was a constant breeze-such a lovely day. and it's supposed to be the same for the rest of the week!!!
