    This is my nephew's beach in Portugal, right outside his home. My sister & brother-in-law just took their first European trip to visit him. So this is from their camera.

    Pretty awesome:

    Wow. Started a new page with a picture.

    Don't I get some extra-beachie-credit when that happens?

    LOL

    Here's what we saw this morning:

    This was a parade of "Tall Ships" on their way to a festival in the city of Green Bay for the weekend. We were able to motor in and around them. Seriously awesome. There were 13 ships.

    Here's the "Bounty" which was the star of the MGM movie, "Mutiny on the Bounty."

    Which one shall we charter for our first ever beachie-girls soire & lunch?

    The little ol' gals at our table were sure enjoying their Bloody Marys.
    LOL

    We had so much fun!!

    Honest-to-goodness, I felt like I could reach out & touch the pretties.

    I made sure that my camera was strapped to my wrist.

    I was so excited half the time, I thought I might lose it.

    This has been so much fun -- to 'visit' in real time, with several of you.

    Weeks ago we made theatre reservations for tonight.

    LOL

    Then along came this parade of sails.

    So much for not cramming toooo much into any given day.

    Must go tidy up & look lovely for "A Little Night Music" at our players theatre.

    It is unseasonably HOT here for WI. My arm acts seriously crazy in this much heat, I don't think I could manage full time in the south -- with these new concerns.

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    Hubbie just came in the door & says we're taking the motorcycle & going now for a picnic on the beach. (The theatre is right on the shore.) How much do I LOVE this little slice of heaven-on-earth?

    Chrissy: LOVE the mountains & the falls.

    So amazing to think that she saw these vistas.

    While we are all beach lovers, we are ALL appreciators of the gorgous.

    Keep it coming!!
