Ok guys...don't hate me much (more) for this entry....
I went to the beach a couple of mornings. The beach it's close enough to the city that you can drive in the morning and be back home for lunch if you want to save time/money. These aren't the best beaches we have, but they are conveniently close, especially if you're only looking to get a little bit of a tan and play a little on the waves.
This particular beach isn't big, but you pay a fee to enter, a bit more safer and includes some ammenities that you would have to pay for anyways at public beaches.
It's enclosed by a couple of breakwaters, they take the blunt of the waves, but let in enough waves to make for a fun time in the water.
My camera is supposed to be waterproof, so it was time to test it. I got LOTS of double takes from people when they saw me going in the water with it...
We wen't back next morning, but although the day looked quite promising early in the morning...
...but it got really overcast in a hurry. Not that it mattered much, the water wasn't too cold.
The waves were much more fun though. And you can still get a bit of a tan even if it's a tad cloudy. At least the sand didn't get too hot...
As you can see we had a lot of fun taking pictures in the water. I handed the camera to one of my friends and she got busy taking pictures.
As you can see from the last picture, the waves were getting higher and higher. When they are coming at you, you have to options, you jump REALLY hard and let it carry you...
Or duck under it. Some people dive through it as well. If you're too close to where the wave breaks, or not paying attention, this is what happens:
But hey, I got my sinuses cleared up real nice, so it's all good!
