First Day of School

Everyone warned me about yesterday. Apparently the first day that everyone goes back and you don't is tough. It wasn't! Two of my friends and I went for an early morning walk on Long Beach in Plymouth, Massachusetts. We hit it just at low tide, and it was spectacular. I had a retired earth science teacher, and a life science person who is "between jobs" with me. Long Beach really lives up to its name. The beach is huge. It was also empty! As we walked I gave a running geology lesson, and received a life science lesson. I brought back samples of bryozans on kelp that looked incredible when photographed at 3X. I also decided to create a features page for the website, highlighting different features found in sand. So, if you go to "Massachusetts" there's a new dot for Long Beach in Plymouth, and there also is a "Sand Features" page with one of the strangest rills I've ever seen.
