Looks very beautiful! What's the area itself like? A quiet village?

I don't know I can't remember we left when I was 2 in 1969!

 

I left South Africa when I was three in 1993 so I don't know much either.

 

It's a beautiful city though!

Well I still fit the same size clothes I wore since I was about fourteen...I reckon I might have a few shirts aged thirteen or thereabouts haha!

 

I've yo-yoed in my weight but I rarely throw good clothes away.

Are we talking actual ocean? I :heart: the actual ocean since we went there every summer, but I was born near Chicago, where many people go to the "beach" of Lake Michigan.

No Lake Michigan doesn't count that's a landlocked body of water. It has to at least be a channel connected to the sea to count.

You can indeed travel from Lake Michigan to the ocean via water.

Yeah but a lake isn't like the ocean, a lake is a lake.

I would say it is approx. 20 miles to the nearest NJ oceanfront/beach, and less if you are thinking of The Statue Of Liberty

 

born and raised in NJ. About 45 min drive to the closest beach.

I was born in Jacksonville, FL. I answered 10 miles from the coast because I am pretty sure that's about right to where my Mom was living at the time. My Dad was overseas (in the Navy).
