This is Winter?

A couple weeks ago Andrew and I went to the beach for the afternoon. We were just going to go to the main beach, but then we bumped into our friend, Therese, from work. She has a 4x4 and was just about to drive up the beach with her family, and invited us along.

Driving on sand feels similar to driving in snow... it skitters around a bit. We drove up about 8km to a place on the beach where there were hardly any other people and hung out there for a bit. We still can't get over the fact that "winter" here is about 23 degrees during the day. It's also the dry season, so almost every single day is sunny with blue skies... you can definitely get a good tan in this! (It does get quite a bit colder at night and in the early mornings, but that's okay).

We were trying to take a self-pic on the beach that day, but it's a bit tricky with the iPhone b/c you can't feel where the button is, so you don't always really know when it's gonna take the pic. I think Andrew wobbled the camera a bit here, so we ended up looking a bit weird:


And here's a pic of Therese, Alex, and baby Lily:


Yay for "winter"!!
