Hazy Morning

There was a hazy marine layer when we woke up this morning. It is the first suggestion of weather we’ve had since we got here. The beach was eerily quiet.

The kids fervently set off on their now ritual crab hunt on, what they have dubbed, “Crab Pier”.


The crabs were out in abundance, but they were not so easy to catch.

After a relatively short hunt, we swapped buckets for our bus pass and headed into the Old City to check out the Saturday morning markets. There were some interesting things for sale. The most fascinating was the bags of snails.

Made me think we may be sitting on a Gold Mine at home…


We lunched in the city, FINALLY found some postage stamps, and had some ice cream, of course, before returning to our casa.


As in California, the marine layer had burned off by noon and did not deter the Saturday Beach-Goers (including ourselves).

This is the beach at 6:50PM. Even after being here for 3 weeks, the long daylight hours still impress me.


After dinner we returned to the beach once more for another walk. This time we came across a sand sculpture that had been constructed during the day.

(Sorry it may be a little dark). It is a giant sculpture of the Crucifix, complete with seaweed “thorn” crown. Makes you wonder what will show up on Sunday…
