Windy Day At The Beach

I am always amazed at the difference in the weather from our apartment to the beach, less than half a kilometer away. When I left for the beach this morning, I was expecting a great day for volleyball as there was zero wind evident in the surrounding palm trees. After walking the 300 meters to the ocean, I was greeted by a rippling pirate flag and a collapsed umbrella. Fortunately, the wind didn't last and some people showed up to play (which is always questionable on a Wednesday) resulting in a day that was even better than I had expected.
