Expedition to the Beach!

Yesterday, my newly formed Brigada Verde group (an environmental awareness club) and I went on a expedition to find a path to the beach from my town - and we were successful!  What's funny is that everyone in town knows the beach is nearby, but not many people know how to get to it by foot.  Normally people congregate at a popular local beach 10 minutes up the highway by car.

To get to the beach, we walked a half hour through beautiful fields and forests.  Below are some photos from our journey.

 

I really liked this lone tree in the middle of the field.

In a field, we found some cotton-like stuff in the grass.  We think it originated from some pods in a nearby tree.

We arrived!

There were a lot of broken tree limbs and debris strewn along the beach (not to mention lots of trash... an idea of a beach cleanup came to mind!).  These eerie relics suggested a recent hurricane, though I know we didn't have one last year.  Really weird to see a lot of dead trees along the beach.  Looked tragic actually.

Heading back to the pueblo, we saw several resting cattle along the path.
