A trip to the Beach, everyone had fun!

Through contributions like the ones made to Adopt a Grandparent, the Los Martincitos are able to go on a few excursions during the year. Last week we took them all to the beach. We began the day early, serving breakfast, and then immediately served lunch, which everyone took with them for later. We also served a terrific mate (or tea) for them to take with them.

We all packed up our gear and then boarded the busses (it takes three to get them all in)and traveled to the south about 45 minutes to a beach called Punto Viejo, where the tide is gentle and there are many things to do, in a very relaxed atmosphere, since it usually isn't crouded. We brought chairs for those who needed them, and a big tarp for a tent (which kept blowing away).

Soon after we got there and the hardier ones took a swim in the ocean, everyone took out his/her lunch and we pikniked on the beach. There were many things to do, so that we didn't really miss the sun. It was warm, breezy and cloudy, which may have been the best weather of all. Certainly, everyone had a good time. See below for pictures.
