Here are a few pictures that I took in an attempt to make up for lost time with my camera. This place is literally a five-minute walk from school. The beach that can be seen from the fort is called La Caleta and is the only beach in the old part of the city. La Caleta actually served as the set for a few of the scenes from a James Bond movie (Die Another Day). Needless to say, it is gorgeous.
Later, I took the beach route home from a long day at school. The beach is so beautiful and relaxing and perfect for people-watching. I love observing the elderly women with beach chairs and umbrellas assembled in a circle, playing a weekly game of cards and chatting away. Someday I'll get up the guts to join in. I love seeing the interaction between beach-goers and the vendors who wander down the length of the beach selling soda and water and tinto de verano. I love the impromptu futbol games that occur in between dips in the ocean. I love watching the little kids, intrigued by the birds and the sand and the waves that just never seem to get old.
