Beach Day
Today while Steve was working, I had a day at the beach. I went with my friends Jenny her husband Anthony and their 2 year old Xavier. Unfortunately my camera died, so I only have 2 pictures to share. On Sunday’s at 11:30, it’s the weekly ultimate frisbee match. It’s open to anyone who wants to play and they meet and hang out on the beach. For those that don’t want to play (me), we walk, or run, or skate along the beach and play in the sand and water. After the game was over, we went to Coquimbo, Anthony went to the fish market, and Jenny, I and Xavier went to the open air market. They sell anything from produce, to clothes, to hand crafted treasures. I bought some new flowers for my garden. Can’t wait until Tuesday, to see how they look. It was a beautiful day here in La Serena. It was sunny and in the 70’s. On Friday, my friend Joanna went to the fish market and bought a freshly caught fish. They cut it and cleaned it for her. It’s a corvina which I think is a chilaean sea bass. I can’t wait until I am able to go the fish market, order the fish, cook it and eat it, without getting sick :). Isn’t she pretty!

The beach looks gorgeous. We may never get you home!!!Is it considered too cold to swim in now or do the natives just not swim? Hope it’s warmer in February! Miss ya. mom

The water looks inviting. The water in Maine two weeks ago, was 57 degrees. Not exactly warm enough to swim in unless you were a seal. I showed Bob the pictures of the beach and waves. Keep them coming. I may convence him yet that we have to go and visit you. Miss you. Love, Aunt Pat

Great pics and fish. Joel and I figure we’ll be visiting you about a year from now! It’s pretty amazing that it’s winter, but still warm enough to go to the beach! Can’t wait to ski and have quality beach time next August : )
