Cats and Kids

The cold baby Jawa.
 Ellie finally got into a pool, but it was cold for my Florida baby.
Combing the tidepools

This one is for Coraline...

Seaglass!
 On the beaches in the US, there is rarely a lot of seaglass, but the beaches on Mykonos were full of it.  Part of it has to do with the different attitude towards cleanliness and public space -- we have more rules and more compliance about litter than in Greece -- so there is more broken glass on the beaches (and everywhere else) in Greece.  But also, I guess seaglass looks like trash to Greeks.  Clearly no one had combed the beach in a long time, as there was more seaglass just lying there, everywhere, than I've ever seen before.  We filled a 12 ounce glass in about 15 minutes. 
Some are mangy, but a higher proportion are cute and clean on Mykonos
