La Playa Juan Lopez

Today was a gorgeous day.  Sunny, warm, cool breeze.  Really very nice.  Luckily, we decided to take a trip to the beach Juan Lopez, which is just north of La Portada close to the airport.  While I will confess that the beach was fairly dirty (meaning there was lots of trash), especially for American standards, it was still very fun and very pretty.

The drive to the beach was interesting.  We passed an abandoned carnival (or something...), a toy race track and a stunning mountain view (see pics below).  Sadie is obsessed with playing in the sand, and had a ball with some of our besties here in Antofagasta.  We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends!  And yes, I am aware of how huge her bathing suit is.  But, it covers her up well from the sun. And that sun is intense.
 

Sadie just loves our friends from Kansas.  Look how sweet they are!

Miss Julie looking hot!

Isaac turned into an astronaut??

Half tent :)

As I mentioned, on the way to the beach is a toy car race track...

La Portada (see other post) is also on the way, but we had a sunnier day today, so I took some better pics!
