We went to Kelvin Strand the other day. It's described as an 'undiscovered jewel' of a beach and it was quite lovely and had this sweet playground. But then the tide went out and the beach turned into a mudflat in like ten seconds.
But that allowed us to find neat things. Like a coconut floating in the water.
We think it was a leftover from Diwali. It was such a neat coincidence that we came across it on this day in particular, since the boys had been playing 'coconut coconut coconut crack' in the car on the way over. (It's a 'selection' game kind of like eenie-meenie-miney-moe. It's been explained to me a few times but I'm still not 100% on how it works.)
Anyway, it cracked!
No, we didn't eat it.

You know how I love coconuts. I would have been "tempted" to bring it home to eat but I would not of course. I know you can buy lots of wonderful coconuts there that have not been floating in non-filtered water. It must have been fun to find however. I love seeing your adventures.
I haven't told any of you about my 'epic' adventure but will soon. When I got to the Pacific side of the island though, I found dozens of coconuts floating along the shore as I walked along it. Turns out that one of the rites of Diwali is to break coconuts open and share them with your family, friends, etc. I'm pretty sure that is why we are suddenly finding coconuts all over the place.
Awesome!! Great learning experience for the boys too!!!
