FEBRUARY 27, 2010: OLD MAN BY THE SEA

Starting down the trail.
Remember the "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" icons (by hovering your cursor over the photo), and the "Add Comments" button to your lower left.
Sometimes these places can be a bit slick and muddy. Even when not, the rope comes in handy!
Then, just a little bit prior to the shore, the trail flattens out and becomes more level.
And THERE is the Old Man! (And I don't mean the one who took the photo)
Olga decides to kiss the old fella on the lips.
Then she decided that he needed a smooch on his nose.
Of course, as you can see, she was not really even close to the Old Man in the last two photos!
Just off the beach is this small cave. It doesn't go back very far, but can be a handy place in a hard rain.
See Bev over in the sea mist in the distance?
Unless your internet is faster than is mine, after you click on the triangle above, you may need to click on the PAUSE button in the window which pops up and allow it a little time to buffer. Then click on the PLAY button. 3 minutes and 5 seconds of the Old Man by the Sea beach and lagoon.

Olga made herself a friend.
This friend looks at least as nice as did Wilson in the Tom Hanks movie CAST AWAY! What did you name him / her, Olga?
Bev found the molted shell of a local spiny lobster. They don't taste as good as the red Maine lobsters, but they are more colorful (and they do taste pretty good).
Now Bev gives the Old Man a treat.
I can't remember what they were photographing. Probably getting "last photos" of the Old Man.
Bev told me she was getting me "tickling his chin." She never even hinted that I was picking his nose!
After deciding that the coconut friend was too heavy to carry back, Olga found another friend!
Now, please join us for the next 2 minutes and 12 seconds as we climb back out and toward our car.
Thanks to Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com for the music!
