Sand blasted

It's been incredibly windy here which makes it so hard to bike everywhere.  The winds have been so strong in places that we end up having to just get off and walk because it's like biking against a brick wall.  I think the winds have gotten up to 40 or so mph but they can get up to 80mph and I'm not sure how we are going to bike in that.  We've all been a little more exhausted lately due to fighting the winds.  But the chicks by the beach have had it way worse.  Poor little things.   We even saw an adult albatross get blown into a tree and then fall almost at our feet and die within minutes since it broke it's neck.  Crazy.

  1. OMG there's been death? Not cool. Was that in the brochure? Because I'm betting not.

  2. It wasn't in the brochure (since there wasn't a brochure) but it was in the orientation that we needed to prepare to see lots of dead chicks everywhere. Nice.
