Day at the Beach

Sorry it has been a while since the last post, we are busy with life her, although not as busy as in Canada. It is Africa you know. We spent an afternoon at the beach, one of our favorite pass times. The sand there is kind of like tiny pieces of broken, smooth shell as opposed to sand only. If that makes any sense. It tends to have garbage on it, I think it is because if the dumpage that happens out on the see. Most of it tends to be plastic, be we can get past it and enjoy the exploration of tide pools, sand holes and such.

Whenever we go there are men fishing. They have these huge poles, probably 12 to 15 feet in length, at least twice their height. They stand at the edge of the ocean and cast and wait. The surf is rolling in, and at low tide some stand out on a reef and fish as the waves pound the shor, send spray up over their heads. it is wuite a sight. The girls love to expore the pools, find shells and cathc little shrimp and build them a little home. There are a few crabs around, and they live in little holes in the rock. They are quick as lightning and impossible to catch, but are very cute little critters. I have tonnes of pictures on Facebook if you are my friend. Fell free to check them out.
