The Beach - Monterrico (feb07)

I love this beach, specially the 60°C hot, raspy sand that burns your feet and scratches your skin, or the enourmous, erratic waves which crash your bones like toothpicks... ok, a bit exaggerated, but who cares....

DAMMMMM.................I LOVE MI COUNTRY PROUD OF IT............LOVE EL SALVADOR

Beautiful!

Regards Jani from Hungary

Hola S3X, es en Monterrico/Guatemala, pero creo que faltan solo pocos kilometros hasta El Salvador. Grazias por la visita y saludos de Suiza, Marek.

Hi **Jani, thanks for your visit, best regards, Marek.

Es una de las fotos mas lindas que haya visto!! el detalle de los rayos de sol, el color de el cielo en tonos pastel, las palmeras a lo lejos y el corazon dibujado en la arena, es una hermosa composición! Me encanta!! Felicidades tienes muy buenas fotos, pero mi favorita es esta

Be careful swimming here, it is a beautiful but dangerous beach! I almost here drowned in 1999 when I swam beyond the second breakers and when I tried to swim back in shore. the rip tide was overwhelming and kept sucking me further out, pounding me with surf and pushing me down the coast.. The trick is to choose the SMALLEST wave to try and swim back in with..when it crashes the "back suck" is proportionatly smaller too and allows you to make headway in getting back to shore! When I finally did..the girlfriend says" I dont believe you, do it again!" lol.. So I DID! lol.. BUT THIS TIME.. I knew the trick and was able to swim out and in again with little difficulty. Releasing a baby turtle for a pint sized race to the surf was a highpoint to my visit there as well as fun AND as well as ecologically friendly. They raise the sea turtles for release. "Selling" you a turtle to race with for $10 (at the time). The winner gets a dinner for 2 at one of the restaurents in Montericco.

Gracias por tu lindo comentario Ludin, me alegra que te gusta.

Thanks for your comment Chronnik and your advice. You're right, the tide can be overhelming and one dosn't notice until it's (almost) too late.

Saludos and best regards, Marek
