Sun Sand and Sea


When we first started thinking about our trip, going someplace near a beach was central to our plan. The temperatures were around 100 then and all we could think about was cooling off. The weather has mellowed considerably since then but the call of the waves is too strong for us to resist. After we finished at the cheese market we headed up to Egmond am See, a little beach town just a bit north of where we were staying. I had my own curious reason to go there...last year I almost drove up to a scrapbooking convention that was held there. Maybe next year!
We weren't dressed for the beach so we just strolled and took pictures and enjoyed being there. Not many shells or things washed up on the shore, but there were lots of kids building sand castles, people sitting in their beach chairs reading, kites flying, dogs swimming and people out in the waves windsurfing, kite surfing and sailboating.
