Beach Bums







With no end to the hot, hot temps in the city, we packed up the Mazda and zipped over to the coast to the town of Zandvoort. Lovely spot to spend the day - it's only 30 km from A'Dam. Zandvoort has a 9 km sandy beach (that is about 100 m wide) and it's right in the middle of the huge sand dune protected park. The beach was busy but not too busy.

We rented a wind/sun shelter and it was perfect for keeping our beer cold. Yes... you can drink on the beach (or smoke for that matter) without good ol' Officer OPP man bringin ya down. What fun!

Jack built castles and dozed highways. He chased sea gulls and stared at topless women. He pissed in the sand dunes and ate an orange popsicle although most of it dripped all over his clothes. He collected shells with Mommy and played soccer with Daddy. It was an excellent day at the beach.

Ugh. terrible terrible news about the bike. My sentiments. It will be hard to start again with a new one... I wish you luck.
