It was just too distracting. On one hand, I wanted to be polite and accom
modate people who came up to me, but on the other hand, you need to focus and concentrate.
On the
plus side, that is something I always enjoyed about Americans - at least other
people on the beach acknowledged your existence. Here in the UK, you would be
studiously ignored and people would be sure to keep their distance lest they be
associated with somebody who was obviously not quite..... normal.
