The Indian Ocean

Canada is bordered by three of the world's Oceans, but the the fourth one, the Indian is the one we were swimming in today.  The winds are apparently always blowing in Perth and by the early afternoon the waves were rolling in.  This was Cottlesloe Beach on the North Side of Perth.  Parking is free and you get a view looking down the coast and out across the ocean.  The grass tiers behind the kids were filled with sunbathers by lunch time.  There was a group of kids at "lifeguarding Camp" and a boathouse filled with surf kayaks ( think Magnum PI).  Liam ordered calamari for lunch fully aware it meant squid.  They do not have ketchup here, only tomato sauce, in these squeeze and squirt containers that has wound up on both Meg and Diana's shoulders.   Malt vinegar comes in spray mist bottles, interesting spin.  After a second dose of the beach, with the waves really crashing in, we called it a day.  Tomorrow is Australia Day- its Canada Day only Down Under, with Australian Flags flying everywhere and a massive fireworks display tomorrow.
