That\u2019s why when my dear friend L planned a trip to the beach, I couldn\u2019t be more excited.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15933 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/tys.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laila-vko28-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tys.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laila-vko28-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tys.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laila-vko28-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tys.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laila-vko28-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tys.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laila-vko28-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/tys.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Laila-vko28.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><strong>What really happened<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We meet up right next to the river, swimsuits under our clothes and light lunch in our bags. I was so happy that I was finally be able to go to the beach and enjoy the great weather.<\/p>\n<p>We took the water bus to Ruissalo and had the wind playing with our hair for the 40 minutes it took us to go from the center to the beach.<br \/>\nAs soon as we arrived, we took our shoes off and tried to find a nice place to sit and enjoy. The walk wasn\u2019t as pleasant as I was expecting, since there were too many rocks and plants, but still, we made our way out to a nice spot and placed our towels. Then, we took our clothes off and walked to the sea.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth to mention that it was the only cloudy day we\u2019ve had in weeks, with a lot of wind and no more than 18 degrees, but still, my hopes were high and I couldn\u2019t wait another second to get into the water.<\/p>\n<p>I regretted my decision for a second, as soon as the water touched my foot. It wasn\u2019t as cold as when I went ice swimming, but it was definitely not the temperature I was expecting (now that I think about it, I don\u2019t even know why I was expecting some warm water and a warmer day). Despite the weather and the cold, I kept walking, letting the water surround my body. Once we were all completely inside, we started laughing, proud of how far we made it.<\/p>\n<p>We were inside for no more than 10 minutes, only to walk back to our spot and take our food out and wait for a miracle to dry out our swimsuits before we had to put our clothes on again.<\/p>\n<p>With a big smile on my face, wet clothes and my jacket on, I spent all the way back to the center thinking: Who would\u2019ve thought I\u2019d take this Mexican body to swim in the cold waters of a brackish sea?.<\/p>\n<p>And for that as well, I\u2019m so grateful.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
