The Beach

Last weekend we had the chance to go with the Woods family, Stephanie, Juliana and her sister Juanita to a beach in Marquelia—about 1 hour away.  The drive alone was so beautiful and a good reminder of God’s creative beauty!  We realized how important it will be to get out of the city and just enjoy the beauty around us once in a while—it is so refreshing!  The beach we gorgeous as well—although the water was a bit murky from all the rain!  The waves are unbelievably big and strong, so it is not much of a beach for swimming in—especially for the kids.  But they enjoyed the sand and there were some rocks which created a few little tidal pools for them to play in.

After playing for a while, we sat at these tables and ordered some picaditas—much like little pizzas here, but made with corn tortillas and a spicier sauce. They were yummy!
