Ostend--Hello North Sea!

Hello friends! We were in Ostend on the 5th and the weather was very cooperative. Not a cloud in sight! This was the first time that I've been to the North Sea. It did not disappoint...

 The weather couldn't have been better. A bright 80F all day. I even came home with a nice little burn on my chest and shoulders. 

 Just our luck something exciting happened and we had front row seats! A child was reported missing and so the lifeguard boats and police were deployed and the hunt began. I prayed hard that they wouldn't find him in the water. No one should have to go through that experience. It was interesting to watch everyone work together. Guarding a waterfront is a lot different than a pool, but there are still some similarities. 

 The search was called off about 30 minutes after it started and we later found out that the kid had been found in a shop on the board walk. Thank goodness!

 This entire hut was made out of machetes. Cool!

Ostend was one of my favorite cities that we've been too. Reminded me a little bit of SoCal. I love the beach!
