Winning Relay

One of the advantages of being an older swimmer is outliving the competition! Since only two ecuadorian women over the age of 55 were competing, the DAM 55+ women won the 4x100 relay. Although 3 of us are 60+, we had to compete in the age group of our youngest swimmer, Nancy. Pictured are Betty, Nancy, Leslie & Me.

Beach at Salinas

Because it was not warm, most of us sat on the sand, under rented umbrellas ($5 a day), as the bathing beauties in the picture did. Only a few got in the water (except Ryan and Becky and their dad, pictured). Myself, I walked up and down the beach and took pictures of those sunning themselves and fended off trinket salsement. It wasn't quite the warm, sunny day at the beach that we had hoped for!
