How to Keep Warm at the Beach

It's been an action packed weekend.  I'm just amazed at the energy of my 7 year old granddaughter.  After swimming 20 lengths of the pool this morning and diving to fetch items thrown to the bottom of the deep end umpteen times, she still had to be coerced out of the water with a promise of spare ribs and chips for lunch.  Yesterday I was weary just from browsing shops, but she still wanted to go to the beach.  We did that on Saturday as well.  It has been really cold, with biting winds and we had to keep moving or freeze.  You can see how she kept warm in the picture.

Egyptian Pool

It's still pretty cold and miserable here right now. So I decided to go back to Egypt in my mind and revisited the photographs yet again.

The first one I'm sharing with you is of our hotel's swimming pool, which you can see was built right out over the Nile. I was able to take this shot from a Nile cruiser as we left the hotel at 7 am on my husband's birthday.

The second is also of the pool, but on another day when I was enjoying having the water to myself for a while. Hubby took this shot from the pool bar.
