Coastal Cleanup Day ‘07
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007
I clicked Echo Park at the car’s navigation tool which brought me around Hollywood. But I can’t park anywhere near Echo Park, so I went back to Santa Monica. After running an hour or so at the beach’s bike lane, I lazed around the pier just bikini watching. UHHmmmm… Hey, it was Saturday and the babes came in droves!
After a while, a truck of scuba divers came. What’s going on? This is the beach not some dive spot. But there’s the pier and the concrete pillars make for excellent artificial reef, I thought to myself. With banners going up flapping in the ocean breeze, I came to realize it was international coastal clean-up day, an event I participate yearly with my dive buddies in the Philippines. But I’m not diving this time, so I lined up with the others to comb the beach for trash. I was paired with Kathryn and her 9 year old boy Casey. I said, It’s so wonderful that you do this with your son. She said, I’m doing this only for Casey’s science class and all this global warming issues blah blah blah….
