A Day at the Beach
Posted by Jeri on November 17, 2009
A group of five wonderful people from Austin, TX were here for a World Bible School campaign last week. We were extremely busy with Bible studies nearly every evening and other activities throughout the day. On Saturday we decided to take a trip to the beach for a day of rest and fun. It was our first time to the beach since being home from furlough. We went to Biwa beach, which is about a 1 1/2 hour drive from our house. If it weren’t for so many potholes in the road, we could probably make it in half the time. The scenery along the way is always beautiful (in spite of the awful roads!) – from jungle vegetation, to views of the bay, to village-style houses, to pigs in the road. It was a great day for our family and those who joined us. I especially enjoyed snorkeling. At Biwa, there are the most brilliant blue starfish and incredibly colorful coral reefs. I managed to only get away with pictures of the kids, however…
Craig and Caleb built a sand tower – much simpler than the common sand castle.
Elizabeth enjoyed her first beach experience. I didn’t put her in the water, but she sure enjoyed the outdoors.
Isn’t Caleb one handsome young boy?
Hannah played and played and played with her friends. She’s pictured here with Baylee, another MK.
It’s such a blessing to live in a beautiful place with great people.
