Now since I showed you the"flat" part, I had to show you the ocean. This is one of 18 million fantastic views we have. This is Jan Juc beach and a hot spot for surfers. There were a ton out performing that we could watch, but it was hard to capture a picture of them. If you have seen an 80s film called "Point Break", when the good guy (Keanu Reeves) catches the bad surfer dude (Patrick Swayze) at the end of the movie, they are at Bell's Beach, which is one over from this one. We have not been on a surf board yet, perhaps due to the fact that when we talked to some surfers after taking this picture, they had seen a shark! A couple of beaches further along the coast was evacutated theother day due to multiple shark sightings!!!
The picture on the right makes me think of the song that I teach "I Hope You Dance". There is a line in it that goes "I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean....." It is so omnious, yet at the same time completely peaceful. I know we have only been here 12 days, but I swear I will never get tired of walks along the beach in the evenings!

Hey Jill, thank for including me in you e-mail and great to see you have a blog - I will certainly enjoy your awesome pictures and stories - already you have learned alot I can see. The ocean looks great and to think you have these gorgeous sites for a whole year. Try to escape those nasty creatures you mention but have a safe and wonderful time.

Walking on the beach sand, even merely strolling along is a great leg workout!
Now, a run on the beach... is pure bliss!
