Lazy Sunday Afternoon at the Beach 冬天的下午在沙灘

My wife took our little one to visit a friend out in the east today after church, so I went with our 2 older ones to the beach. For some reason digging is popular right now with them. You can see here in the 1st photo they are imitating a dog digging a hole for a bone, which of course I don’t really know if they do since I’ve never had a dog but that’s what I have heard. The other 2 photos are a nice one of a sailboat and the pier.

With temperatures in the 80s, it was nice enough to go swimming today, sorry to say for all of reading this from blizzard-stricken areas. The only problem I have is sand, especially with little ones. No matter how many times feet are washed and cleaned, it always seems to grind its way into the carpet.
Some areas of the Chinese world have really nice coastlines. They are very beautiful. In Taiwan, I can think of the East Coast, which is dotted with such beautiful islands as Orchid Island 蘭嶼 or Green Island 綠島. The scenery is spectacular though a little dangerous as our friend demonstrated for us driving up the East Coast highway, speeding past cement trucks overlooking a beautiful 1000 or 2000 foot drop into the ocean. Sanya 三亞 in Hainan Island is also supposed to be nice. The actual beaches though do not appear to be as nice as what one can find in say Thailand or Cancun.
