Friday is the holy day between 12 and 1 a lot of people attend prayers...so lots of cars are parked on the road!

In the sea!

On a beautiful afternoon we went to the beach and found the tide was out (lots of space) and the waves were just right from inflatable surfing.

With temperatures in the mid-20s, we wanted to go to the beach.
