Delaware Beach

I'm in Delaware this week...and only for a week, which I'm really grateful for. I'll be back on Friday, then leaving again Sunday morning for Idaho for a week. Anyway, while I'm here in Dover, I took some time to drive to a nearby beach to take some pictures. I couldn't understand why the hotel desk clerk said it was a sandy beach, but for fishing, not for swimming. Who doesn't swim at a sandy beach? And then I got there and understood. It's probably one of the grossest non-inland beaches I've ever seen. It was low tide, so the mud flats were pretty big, with dead horsehoe crabs all over and wow...the horseflies were attacking me. I collected some pretty rocks to add to my desk collection, and it was like...bend, pick up a rock, swat horsefly again, bend, swat, swat, etc. And, um....cactus? On a beach?
