Test Drive

Today we all piled into the car and went for a drive--what else could we have done. First we did the route to the kids school, then picked up some groceries in Selent (for the first time we can carry them back in a car!), then headed north toward the coast. We ran into a military base and had to make a detour, but then found a place next to the ocean where we could park. There was an amazing amount of ladybugs where we stopped. They were all over the cars, plants, ground, and in a couple spots covered the ground in solid ladybug piles. I'd never seen anything like it. We took a short walk along the beach. It was very rocky and had all kinds of interesting rocks. I even tried some flintknapping. There were sandy cliffs overhanging the beach and at one point they were riddeled with, apparently, holes for swallow nests. Then headed back.
