MX Trip #27 Morning Call (Wedesday)

Normally, each morning around 7 AM, several of the men ( and sometime a lady with join in ) grab a coffee and meet on the patio at the beach area of the park. Of course the discussion is about the politic of yesterday and how to solve the world's problems. We also watch as the beach comes alive, as some venders start to set up early , probably to get the prime spot, or maybe it is so they are near the beach entrance. 

However, the Pineapple lady has 2 boys, one is probably 2 and the other is around 10 years old and we call him the water boy. Every morning he comes into our park to fill 2 water jugs that appear to be the size of 4 gallons. He carries both jugs to his Mom's stand. Then he gets 2 more jugs and carries then to another stand about 200 feet further down the beach. However, even thought he is built like a fire hydrant he has to stop and rest for a few minutes before he gets to the second vender. During the rest of the day he tries to watch his baby brother as the 2 year old does wander away. He seems to have lots of patience when chasing after his brother. Even thought there are 1000's of people on the beach I'm sure most venders know who the 2 year old belongs to so I doubt he would get lost.

Since the beach was crowded and it will be until after New Years, we just people watched and read a book from the patio. Many park residence go for a walk along the water's edge as walking on the beach is nearly impossible. cheers
