The view straight out my window. This traffic circle is where I get killed almost every day while I'm walking to get groceries or my laundry. It's not too busy now. Imagine three rows of cars going around that circle, with everyone headed in a different direction and cutting off cars to take their exit.
Scary. The pic is looking out towards the meridien, about 6 miles away. Notice the haze in the air - that's sand blowing around in the air.
Everything is under construction in this country, even the exit ramp out of the Intercon. It makes life interesting.
This is the "sand bridge", built to the sand bar you see in front of the beach. Why did they build this sand bridge and fake sand island? So they could build stuff on it. What, I don't know. It's spoiled the beach and the view. Normally the sand island has tents set up on it for the construction workers doing what ever it is they are doing with the fake island.
This is the view of the beach. Those little umbrellas are the ones made out of palm fronds. You'll notice, hopefully, the wall that blocks this little water area off from the real ocean. The water in this blocked off area is about 20 feet at its deepest.
And that's how the water gets so hot. The sand from the fake sand island blow into our little water area too, which is annoying.
