Jellyfish and Sandcastles

Every afternoon at basata the tide would bring in several jellyfish on the shore. It soon became Lydia's mission to save all Jellyfish on the sand and return them to the sea. We, thankfully realized that these jellyfish don't sting as Lydia began picking them up. She would spend an hour or two gathering all the jellyfish she could fit in her sand pail and then wade out in the sea and dump them. It really was quite a sight. The ones at the bottom of the pail probably died of suffocation or at least got a pretty good headache by smacking the water.


The two Jellyfish saviors. I wish I had a picture of the hundreds in the sand pail.


Here you see the crusaders completing their "save the jellyfish" project. btw...the hat Alia is wearing was once mine (Calvin).

Lydia became good friends with an Austrian girl that was staying in a hut close to us. Here they are building a sandcastle.
