Sunrise on the other side

We just experienced our first sunrise on the other side of the island. Like so many other happenings here, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time yesterday when our friends, Becky and Desiree were talking about making the trip. Next thing I knew, Ed and I were picked up at 5:15 this morning and got to Mescalitos just as the sky was showing the first tinge of light. We watched as the color was brushed on the sky's pallette and the waves started working up to daytime zeal. Six of us (Becky, Steve, Bob, Lynn, Ed and I) quieted down as the day came alive.

After the sun was up and running, Becky, being the good Catholic girl that she is, said that it was time for penance. We sure like her kind of penance! She pulled out 3 humongus lawn bags for us to use to pick up garbage on the beach. In a matter of less than an hour, we had them all filled and up by the road. As providence would have it, we saw Rita and Robert in their pickup with their 3 dogs. They were happy to take the bags to the closest receptacle.

Our friend, Kathy, started a Facebook group called Trashy Little Group. In that hour with teamwork, we have increased the bag total by a third. YES!


On the way home we stopped for a breakfast of fish tacos. It doesn't get much better than this.
