The island is hosting a lot of university students for all of March. They are here to play in the Frisbee championships.
The young men and women, in their off times, can be found building sandcastles on edge of the surf and daring the waves to melt the walls of the fortresses; they can be found peddling around the island on the rental bikes and they can be found practicing their Frisbee throws and blocks along the beach. They are enjoyable to talk to.
One macho male, on a very cold day at the beginning of the month, said that his group wasn't chilly because they were from Wisconsin.
Before I left the beach, I went back to them and told them that there was a warmer beach. The bluish-tinged barefooted women, with their hoods pulled up and their arms folded over their chest, stuttered, ''Warmer? Where?''
I drew a map in the sand and they immediately told the men, ''That's where we're going tomorrow!''
