Some sort of ceremony
A man and woman were in the ocean being watched by this crowd. I saw them come down the beach and stop while a preacher of some sort talked to the couple. With the boss out of town and the fact that our teams don't typically start until noon we decided to head in a little late (around 10:00). With that I decided to venture out, not sure exactly what I was going to do so I got my bright red swimming trunks and tennis shoes and headed for the beach. Security to the beach is heavy, guess the JW Marriott doesn't want to get invaded so there is a big door, a guard, badges, etc. and the sign you in and out. After giving me instructions on how to ring the bell to get back I was off.
I started walking and wanted to get some pics of the hotel from the back side and sneak a shot of the machine gun bunker that I had stumbled on a couple of nights ago. You heard it right, a machine gun bunker. Needless to say I was acting like a total tourist, didn't want to get a guy with a machine gun upset but had to have the picture.
From there I headed off soaking in what I could of the surroundings. First observation is all the trash. It makes me
Burried treasure
Saw several teracotta type things burried. There were enough of them in good shape that I don't think it was by accident like some sort of buddha street vendor that had blown up. sad but the beach is very trashy with all kinds of plastic protruding from the sand. I decide not to get in the water, normally I would have but my colleage who has been here strongly cautioned us about the water. I don't think he meant the ocean and normally I wouldn't have hesitated but decide to hold back.
I notice several other oddities along the beach that I got pictures of including a ceremony, ceramics, and a monster!
