Starry Starry Night

Aryana changed into a comfortable cotton sundress with short sleeves.  Erik also changed into board shorts and a tee shirt. 

There were two beach chairs and a small table set up in front of their villa.  Erik brought with him two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine.  He and Aryana went out and lounged on the chair.  He poured wine into their glasses and they enjoyed their drinks while enjoying the night view.

It was a cloudless night.  The stars were clearly visible against a backdrop of the darkness of the night.  They were like a million diamonds scattered across the black sky.

"What a beautiful sight. The stars are clearly visible as compared to when viewed in Central District." 

Erik was not happy lying down on the beach chair by himself.  He took the two beach towels he brought and laid them down side by side on the sand. 

"Come here."  He beckoned Aryana.

They lie down on the sand, Aryana's head on Erik's forearm.
