...wool sweaters safe in the Dunster squash courts were a distant memory as I posed in the sand, a giant purple vision, as the skateboarders shook their heads in disbelief. The waves crashed, the palm trees swayed in the background, the rollerbladers whizzed by and I vogued for the camera, home in La-La Land. Dorothy said it best in the Wizard of Oz, "There's no place like home...
