Life is good

Sunday was lightly overcast with some rare hints of sun showing. We had a lazy morning and then a huge lunch. Afterwards, we got ready for the beach.

Today we’re going to Moin. This is a long flat strip of black sand on the mainland behind the peninsula (man made?) where the port sits. People drive along the black sand and park and then unload their shit directly behind the car. We sit looking out at a big lake of salt water (no waves) with the ships not that far away… literally, we could walk to the ships.

It’s only 5 minutes past Playa Bonita, and I think there are two reasons we came here today. First, Pita is still recovering from knee surgery and has trouble walking distances. Next, Yvanni had surgery on her ear previously and can’t get salt water in it, so Moin is best for her because there are zero waves here.

It’s my least favorite beach experience so far. But hey, cold beer and warm ocean… Life is good!
