Beach discovery with visitors

We had a wonderful time with our German friends who stayed with us for the week. The days were lovely and we spent as much time as possible on the beach. Here are some great ocean discoveries we made during their visit!

Now it gets interesting a jellyfish, cannonball jellyfish, also known as the cabbage head jellyfish, is a harmless (it’s edible) variety that sometimes washes up on beaches in large numbers.

We have been friends since S was an exchange student in high school. How lucky I am to have a fantastic friend across the ocean, who is always close in my heart! Even though our children speak a different language they played wonderfully together, it was really special to see.
