Today Andrew and I decided to relax and take a trip to the beach! It's only about 5 miles west of us, so in the summer we will ride bicycles there......But today...we drove the car...
It was quite chilly today......but quite enjoyable to be there! I love the power of the ocean. It always brings to mind how small we are and how much we need the power of God in our lives....
What a wonderful place to spend the day!
We noticed some flags blowing in the wind......they are pictures Che Guavera. I don't understand why people idolize someone who took pleasure in executing thousands?!?
There are a lot of buildings along the shore of the beach:
Including the restaurant where we had lunch at the De Haven! We had bitterballen and Jopen beer (which is made in Haarlem) before I got my "gamba" (shrimp) and Andrew had a burger...
This is a rutter from a ship!
While we were eating our lunch these two little girls were sitting on a bench in the restaurant. Their legs were so small they sat straight legged and their feet just reached the edge of the bench. They sat there licking their lollipops and swinging their little feet back and forth in sync with each other and giggling. It was so fun to watch them! It doesn't matter the culture.....the innocence of children is soooo warming to the heart to see!
A warning sign as you enter the beach:
Careful on stairs, they are damaged!
As we were walking back to the car I Laurel and Hardy sitting on someone's front porch! Isn't it cuuuute and happy!?!??! It's only about 2 feet tall...but it made me smile!
We stopped for gas on the way home: This is equivalent to about $6.82 a gallon!
This is a thatched roof house we saw on the way home:
On our way home, it started snowing!!! It lasted about 10 minutes and was gone......so pretty!
What a wonderful day!
