lessons...

As we walked to the beach a little after 8am, we saw several children walking the other way, to the school down the road.  We were going to an entirely different classroom.

Golden sand, clear, gentle waves, water that was just a tad crisp as you first entered, but quickly got used to, and some major bonuses....a family of whales, close in, playing....lots of fin slapping and breaching...beautiful!  Then we noticed a dolphin swimming even closer, going in the other direction to the whales.  Knowing that they are rarely alone, we soon saw the larger pod following behind.   AJ and I climbed up the rocks of the breakwall so we could get a better view of the dolphins and to the whales....such a gift!  AJ declared it "the best day EVER!" 

Yoga on the beach, making massive sand castles, more swimming....our morning 'lessons' were heartfelt, expansive and memorable.  Such is our life...
