Visited: Revere Beach International Sand Sculpture Festival 2015

Strand, Sandskulpturen und ein Feuerwerk – das reicht schon, um mich am Wochenende voll zu aktivieren. So wie am letzten Sonnabend, als am berühmten Revere Beach – berühmt, weil der erste öffentliche Strand der USA – das jährliche internationale Sandskulpturenfestival stattfand. Trotz kühler unter 20 Grad bin ich daher in die Metro gehüpft und zum Strand gefahren, wo richtig viel los war.

Am ganzen Strandabschnitt gab es wunderschöne Sandskulpturen, die ich alle sehr beeindruckend fand. Ich könnte nicht so einfach sagen, welche mir am besten gefallen hat. Auf der Promenade standen viele Foodtrucks, die Essen vieler verschiedener Kulturen angeboten haben. Leider war das türkische Essen schon ausverkauft, als ich kam. Aber ein interessantes Gespräch konnte ich mithören:
zwei Frauen hinter mir: “What is this? Greek?”
– “No. No, I think it’s Ethiopian.”
– “Oh yeah, that’s right. It’s Ethiopian.”

Für 21 Uhr war ein Feuerwerk angekündigt und obwohl ich jämmerlich gefroren habe (trotz Pullover, Jacke und langer Jeans), habe ich motiviert durchgehalten, weil ich Feuerwerke einfach liebe. Das Warten hat sich definitiv gelohnt, denn das Feuerwerk fand auf dem Wasser statt und dauerte etwa 25 Minuten. Aber seht selbst alles auf den Fotos:

Beach, sand sculptures and fireworks – this is all it takes to quickly activate me on a weekend. Like last Saturday when the annual International Sand Sculpture Festival took place at famous Revere Beach – famous because it was the first public beach in the US. I took the metro to the beach, where a lot was going on, despite it being cold at less than 70°F.

At the whole beach section there were beautiful sand sculptures which I found very impressive. I couldn’t even say which I liked best. On the boardwalk there were many food trucks offering food from lots of different cultures. Unfortunately, the Turkish food was already sold out when I arrived. But there I heard an interesting conversation:
two women behind me: “What is this? Greek?”
– “No. No, I think it’s Ethiopian.”
– “Oh yeah, that’s right. It’s Ethiopian.”

The fireworks were announced for 9 p.m., and I stayed there although I was awefully cold (despite a sweater, a jacket and long jeans). I was only motivated to wait because I really love fireworks. But it definitely was worth the waiting because the fireworks took place on the water and lasted for about 25 minutes. Have a look at my photos to see it for yourself:

  1. Toll! Ich hab solche Sandskulpturen mal in Berlin gesehen, aber ich glaube, diese hier sind noch “filigraner”. Beeindruckend! Auch die Aufnahmen vom Feuerwerk sind ganz toll gelungen!
