I recently went for a hike in the mountains. The mountain air felt bracing because l hadn't gone hiking in a while. When I reached the summit and looked down, I felt like a million bucks. A few months ago, I went on a short weekend holiday to a lake. The place where we stayed had a great view. I walked around the lake and enjoyed the serene atmosphere. I also watched people enjoying water sports on the water.
