At the sea

We had a lovely little vacation on the Black Sea on the western side of Crimea. Garry enjoyed snorkling, the boys enjoyed hanging out together, eating, playing computer games and even swam some.
The beach near the apartment is sandy with lots of shells- most beaches in Crimea are even smooth river rocks like pebbles or more like a dropoff of rock. At one end of the beach there is is a section of greek foundations that have been dug out of the sand with modern water lines running over them.
The beach is bustling all day with vendors who walk through the sunbathers on the beach chanting about what the they have for sale to eat- from cooked shrimp, pierogies (not what you are thinking-but a fried doughnut filled with potato or cabbage, one lady had apple ones) guys with racks of dried fish, cooked corn on the cob, lollypops, and Garry's favorite- baklava- layers of sticky honey dough with nuts sprinkled on- those ladies usually have a number of bees following them down the beach. I am sure I have mised something- plus there are stands just off the sand selling drinks, hot dogs, frite (french fries)and sharmin (a wrap with meat, veggies and sauces)which is what Garry is waiting for in the photo.
The last day I went out to the cliffs with Garry where he did some snorkling and I swam (floated on a swim ring) We took a walk around town every evening, and I took a lot of photos, including one of the Afghanistan war memorial.
Crimea is the only place with have seen sheep in Ukraine, they are almost the same color as the brown grass (it is dry except where there is irrigation) There were some cows and horses grazing out by the cliffs. We saw many campers, some in tents or caravan/campers by the edge of the cliffs, some in vans and cars, some people had biked or hiked in with big packs.
