Rubber Duckie Visits

Beach Junk Stories are stories from my imagination writing about garbage and junk laying around. Sometimes on the beach, the one I visit almost every morning with my dog Teli and her friends, there are large amounts of garbage that wash down from the Rio Ozama. Other times there is just a little bit of trash but usually there is always some trash around. I started seeing interesting toys and pieces of junk and started making stories about them in my head. I shared a few on Facebook and decided I best make a new category on my blog to share my stupid, crazy stories.

Rubber Duckie Visits.
Today on the beach as I was watching the dogs, Teli and Bertha, playing and enjoying their time at Playita Montecinos I saw a little rubber duckie peaking out of the sand.

The large cruise ship Aida Bella was coming into port. Maybe the duckie hitched a ride on the ship to get to our beach. He was enjoying the surf while resting on a piece of drift wood after the long journey.
