I swam in the Mediterranean today…

…and it was good.  :)

Sarah and I went down to the public beach at Barceloneta and layed on the lovely sand and swam in the turquoise water with the locals  (and other tourists, of course).

The water is very salty, and clear enough that I could still see the bottom in about 20-25ft of it.

The sun here is powerful!  We both got sun burned in about 2 hours at the beach!  (I can be out for 1/2 day or more in Nebraska with no worries - this is maybe only the second burn in my life.)  So, unfortunately, we will be away from the beach for a few days.
