Today has been a slow day, deliberately so. We slept in a little, and Laura and Elena caught up on homework and their independent projects. In the early afternoon, we went to the beach in Freshwater, a northern suburb of Sydney.
Freshwater is a complete misnomer (no freshwater in evidence), but it is a beautifully located ocean beach with very fine sand. Apparently it is the birthplace of surfing in Australia owing to the fact that there’s a headland at each end of the beach that produces excellent surf.
I didn’t see any surfers today but the Bock and Ellis girls sure had a fun time boogie boarding. Heather and I, the stodgy middle-aged couple that we are, were happy to sit on beach chairs in our little sun shelter and watch the goings-on at the waterfront.
