It had quite a moral lesson about how we are destroying the planet. If only we could get a crew to travel back in time to the Gulf and stop BP from the carelessness that caused the spill.Lillian Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488638666900705015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-6365134111876281142010-06-09T05:36:51.668-07:002010-06-09T05:36:51.668-07:00My parents bought a home in Indian Rocks Beach, Fl...My parents bought a home in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida in 1979. We had a beautiful view of The Bay out the front windows and a stunning view of the Gulf of Mexico out the back. I watched, as slowly over the years, those views were blocked by those who followed us to this quaint small town and thought that "taller" was better. Sad.<br /><br />You're absolutely correct when you say the ocean's critters are paying for our crimes against nature and this latest oil spill reiterates that point. Will we learn before the damage is irreversible or is it already too late? I recently moved from the Gulf to Coastal Georgia and there is speculation it will end up here as well.Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-28103010341343400242010-06-08T22:41:31.981-07:002010-06-08T22:41:31.981-07:00A palapa on the beach sounds wonderful, the closes...A palapa on the beach sounds wonderful, the closest I have come is a tent. <br /><br />Water covers two thirds of our planet yet we know so little about the oceans and how they affect our daily live. It is a sad state of affairs and as you said the innocent are suffering for our transgressions. <br /><br />My post last night was intended to be more in depth but blogger got so slow I finally gave up.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-72051301478443934962010-06-08T17:41:13.471-07:002010-06-08T17:41:13.471-07:00That's not the way I travel...though there mus...That's not the way I travel...though there must have been great freedom in it!

We also call them palapa in our national language and like you I would prefer staying in a palapa hut while on the coasts. There are still a lot them here in the coasts especially in the remote areas, but some people prefer to stay in hotels while taking vacations, in developed places near the beach. These establishments had only one thing in their minds and that is to rake a lot of money, they dont care, how many trees would be cut off or how much sands would be shovelled out, just as long as the return of investment is fast and it would easily be accessed by tourists! And it's sad to know that some tourists preferred it to be that way.

That must have been quite eerie!<br /><br />Thanks for participating and getting the word out! :o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.com
