Beach paths are some of my favourite paths! The weather in Adelaide has been quite conducive to beach time, which I’ve been able to fit in around ministry activities. First off was a long walk along the water’s edge from Seacliffe Beach to Brighton Beach with my brother Stephen, who lives in Adelaide. We had a summery lunch near the beach in Brighton, and I had a swim. Finally a beach that wasn’t all choppy from a cyclone!

The next day was a bit overcast, but I ended up at Port Noarlunga after I saw my friendly chiropractor nearby. My back has held up quite well through all this traveling, for which I am grateful. At Noarlunga, at least one school was there for a field trip to the geological and ocean wonders there. And of course there were other people enjoying all the things people love to do at the beach.

| …getting brave enough to get into the water… |
 |
| …and out snorkeling… |
 |
| …in several groups! |
 |
| Many people were out fishing off the Noarlunga Pier |
 |
| Keeping them honest! |

 |
| Some dogs were playing with their people – so far every beach I’ve been on in Adelaide allows dogs, mostly on leashes. |
 |
| Some seagulls were contemplating the ocean |
 |
| Some people were enjoying lunch overlooking the sand and waves. |

Today I went to a nearby laundromat close to Brighton Beach. While the washing machine was doing its work, I was able to spend some time on the beach. I can honestly say I’ve never had such a good time doing laundry!

| A bit scary – Snakes Live Here. But I was having a good time doing laundry, nevertheless! |
 |
| Working hard! |
 |
| I love seeing dogs enjoying the beach |

It was such a lovely hot day, I was able to fit in another trip to the beach in the late afternoon after working on my “About Angels” presentation for this weekend, and before going out to dinner with Soula and Stephen.
