 Curacao Sea Shells Good evening all, look what I found today at the beach, it was tiny sea shell heaven!! I found all of these in about 10 minutes of crawling on all fours and yes I got real wet but it was worth it! Once I had them all in hand I carefully rinsed them and laid them all in the sand as you see here. I then unpacked my tripod and camera and got all ready to take the photo when I noticed that 1/4th of my shells were gone!! As I stared in disbelief and looked closer my beautiful little shells were moving at top speed back to the waters edge and with closer inspection I found a little blue crab inside each one!! So many of the shells you see here did not come home with me with us today. The photo I originally had was really cool but after trying and trying to keep those little crabs still long enough for a picture I finally just said, go then, be free!! The rough waves must be the main reason there are so many little shells right now but you really have to stop and look carefully to find them. Some of the shells that ran away were really spectacular and I hated to see them go but hey it was fun finding them! We ended up being out there around three hours today and twice had to run for shelter under a big rock overhang from passing storms, tis the season! I brought home two very muddy and very happy little dogs this morning after a nice shower and a little snack they slept the rest of the day.
The rest of my day consisted of trying to figure out what to do with a dead Mac! My friend Michael Copini has been such a great help! Today he opened up the sick Mac and was able to save all my old pictures and programs onto one of my many 500GB mini hard drives, so the good news is I haven’t lost any photos! And just to let you know what a great guy he is, he sent me home with his back-up Macbook Pro for me to use until I get mine fixed or repaired, talk about a great friend!! My question to my locals out there tonight is, “anyone going to the States any time soon”?? Would pay you to take my Mac and send it to the repair center for me, I don’t want to ship it from here! I am currently sitting here playing with the new Mac and just down-loaded some photos from today. Again thanks a bunch Michael for all your help at least I can continue with the daily for now.
I did go for a fast one hour mountain bike ride but am finding out that those weeks of sickness and being busy have caused me to slip into out-o-shapeness! That’s about it, still have tons of Mac stuff to do tonight, talk to you tomorrow.
Regards from windy and rainy Curacao, Barry
