After the amount of rain Sarasota had this week, and seeing that today Friday April 1, 2011 is a clear sky and sunny day, I wanted to see what the beach looks like. I'm curious to see if anything washed up on the shore and if the beach level is high or low tide.
When I got to the beach, the first thing I noticed was that the grass that is next to the road and the beach is completely gone. All that is left is the roots from underground. There was a long road of dirt and no grass. Maybe this is a good thing, learning in class that the grass in Sarasota and any part of Florida is not real grass. Too much water will send the chemical run off that is in the grass into the sewage drain and get into our water. Especially after all the rain we got this week, maybe the grass was looking really bad and they needed to take it out, before it got worst. Or maybe the area of Sarasota is planing to put a concrete sidewalk path instead of having grass that brings red ants and weeds.
When I went toward the beach I could see the waves were far out, not close to the shore as I predicted. But the waves were intense. The water was cold, and the only thing that washed up on the shore was lots of shells. I went to the beach around 4:00pm and I saw that there were some families with their children at the one part of the beach. One side of the beach wasn't as popular as the other side of the beach with all the hotels and condos. It was no surprise that everyone was outside today, after being stuck indoors with all the rain and thunder this week, four to six inches of rain. Everyone was happy to out in the warm sun.
