 Trashed Beach Good day folks, here’s a real eye opener for you all this evening, a completely trashed beach in one of the most beautiful parts of Curacao. This is Saint Joris where we take the dogs four days out of the week. The piles of plastic and trash all come from the sea and magically find their way to these poor beaches. The local kite surfers/boarders have cleaned these areas countless times since we have been here but it just keeps coming! We took Emily here today and she just stared in disbelief but our answer to it was “you have to look beyond the trash and see the other beautiful things”. Like all the cool driftwoods pieces, sea urchins, shells, snails, crabs, etc… Behind this pile-o-trash is a nice trail that we walk and yes it leads to more beaches that look the same but hey it’s home!! Curacao like so many other places has a real problem on their hands that for the most part is either out of their control or they just tend to ignore it. As we were leaving today we watched as a local guy sat in his car (which was loaded with trash) and waited for us to leave so he could dump and run, we did take a photo of the car but really what good would it do. If you want to help keep things clean please do your part in recycling your plastics otherwise who knows where your trash will end up?? I am sure we will be going back here soon to start picking this stuff up again and bag by bag carry it all the way back home.
After our walk this morning Emily and I went back to the polished glass beach which is also full of trash but again “one has to look past the bad stuff to see the diamonds”, or in this case it was shards of beautiful glass.
I then stayed at home most of the day photographing urchins and shells indoors and at 4:15 went on a fast hour and a half ride with a friend. So that’s my day what did you all do?? Gotta go, Barry
