Gifts from the sea...

Well, this post is definitely not about the timeless book of Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Althought its one of my favorite books and I had the habit of reading it every summer for the last 10 years, today's post is about real gifts of the sea.

You know what they say: 'when life gives you lemons, make a lemonade' but what if sea gives  you  a can of beer???

Here our days start between 6:00 - 6:30 with the morning walk of Hera at the seaside. As we are the early birds we found this can of beer produced in Greece.

It is most probably fell from a passing boat but I like to think that it swam all the way from Symi, the Greek island in front of Datca.

So, when life gave me a can of beer, I did the most logical thing: Cooled and drank it  at my balcony and sent a  big cheers to Symi.

So tell me what are the most interesting things you found at the beach? I have to tell you that I also saw an old iron couple days ago but it probably needs a good fix but so far my most expensive find was a Christian Dior sun glass..After a good cleaning my mother still uses it.

  5. I've found empty beer cans (and other trash), but never a full one! I love that you imagined it came all the way from Symi, that is as it should be.

    Thank you for your thoughtful comment on my loss. I spent last weekend at the beach watching other dogs play and got a few sloppy kisses in return. Sheldon will always be in my heart, just as Sheba will be in yours.

    Loved seeing the pic of you and Hera, so cute. Enjoy your summer, I'll be watching!

  12. A boat! There was a shipwreck at the beach in Marina Del Rey a few months ago. It might still be there. My photos were awful, though, because I forgot to white balance.

    I might have preferred a beer.

    enjoy your summer
