A last shot on the beach as we pack up to leave, coincidentally as tropical storm Hermine is being warned against and the winds are picking up. Next post will be back to dear dirty New York.

We actually went on this ride. They gave us a little instructional speech beforehand, entirely in Swedish (I’m assuming they told us to hold on and not be stupid). My wife and daughter sat in one car and I rode with a young woman from St Petersburg. The scariest part was when we felt our car blowing sideways in the wind and realized the perilous thread by which we were suspended.
