Last weekend we went on a little adventure to the Inland Sea. You can see Saudi Arabia from the beach there. Our friend, Richard Bigger, led the way for us and a small group of people. He provided Nelson with some fishing equipment and they proceeded to have a fish-off at Barracuda Point. Richard skunked Nelson catching barracuda, at least a dozen to none. However, we took a fish home, which Nelson skinned and deboned and cooked for us. It was DE-licious. I can't wait for him to learn how to catch them himself! I will include photos here of our adventure and the small barracuda Richard caught, which our friend, Larry tells us is called sinnet (baby barracuda). Apparently, the BIG ones can be dangerous to eat as they accumulate a toxin from eating something in the reefs. We are in no danger of that here! :)
I have also had some distressing news that my oldest brother, Orville, is very ill in the hospital and have booked a flight home for spring break to see him. It's been a hectic week. AND, today we are heading to the beach in a different direction, so I wanted to get this post done before I write about that! :) Please stay tuned for photos from last weekend and this weekend. I will get it all caught up before I leave for Michigan next week!
