Schools out today for 2 weeks of Easter break. St. Patrick’s College where Owen attends Grade 9 had their shore to gate walkathon (9:30am to noon). We walked down to the boardwalk to see the 1100 boys walk/run the 5K; from Grade 5 to 12, all sizes, shapes, & personalities entertained us. Boy it was a hot humid morning and we hoped the sausage fry reward was worth their effort! Perhaps the bigger reward is no school for the next two weeks!
This afternoon we shopped at Taigum for its internet access; we feel out-of-touch without the web. The mall was busy due to the school holiday & Easter weekend closures. Thank goodness we only required a few basics. Then, home for hamburgers. Something easy, for tonight we walked the tidal beach before the sun set at 6:30pm. What an amazing walk from the shore out to the receding ocean, ½ kilometre of ocean-packed sand, walking through a few inches of warm water and watching sand crabs before they burrow and disappear. To stand far away from shore and the safety of land, totally surrounded by ocean – was an awe-inspiring journey. We were lost in a magical world between the setting sun colours, water and sand. We took some amazing photos to share on the web when we return to Canada.
