 Seashells Good evening friends. The other day when I shot that photo of Indi with her tongue out I also took this for you. While waiting for the batteries to drain on both dogs I collected a few shells at my feet and threw them all in one big shell for a fun “little treasures” photo. These are for the most part the most common shells we find, I picked these up in less than five minutes. The cool looking white spiral shell on the left is very unique and it’s called a Spirula and comes from the inside of a tiny squid called a Rams Horn Squid. The squid lives out in the open ocean at depths of 1000 meters! When it dies this cool shell floats to shore and hopefully finds it’s way to me, they are very fragile but I love them! Anyways something different, hope you like it!?
Let’s see for the daily adventure I went on a two hour bike ride starting at Saint Joris. I rode all the way to Canoa and back that’s around 20 miles. At the half way point I was feeling pretty good and was thinking I was going pretty fast. Well when I turned around to go back the reality of a strong head wind hit me straight in the face causing me to think I may have just made a big mistake! What a difference going back, not fun at all!! My ride kind of went downhill fast with getting caught in a severe tropical downpour about half way back! I was now unable to see the trail in front of me as the rain was just beating me to death and the mud and sand was now clogging every part on the bike, I was crying for my mommy! Soaked to the bone in the middle of nowhere with nowhere to hide is a depressing situation but all I could do was press on one pedal stoke after another! When I finally got back to the road, I was completely soaked in mud and sand and had no fresh water left to rinse my face with, good thing it was still pouring! I had about a two mile ride back on the road still pouring but at least it was better than the trails and if there was a good side, my bike was slowly getting washed! I was so glad to get back to that car, people where driving by looking at me and I can only imagine what they were thinking!!
Have a great evening and a super day tomorrow, rainy regards, Barry
