Dezi has enjoyed the beach with running, a mistaken swim, and deciding shells were something to chase.
As one drives along the coast, the original houses were the long Florida bungalow, and we wondered the origin of the word. This was a surprise:
1670-80; < Hindi banglā literally, of Bengal
The word bungalow was originally used to describe the temporary houses set up by English sailors traveling to India to work for the East India Company. These little houses were often just one story high with a thatched roof. Nowadays, the word bungalow can be used to describe any one story house. Think of the little cabin you slept in at summer camp — that’s a kind of bungalow.

Yesterday Dezi met Maggie. She lives in the neighbourhood on the other side of the highway.
She's a smaller Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which is unusual. Usually Dezi is the smaller dog. They sniffed and did the dog circle dance.
It was our third meeting within the last year of Blenheim spaniels.
We are onto another day of big waves - they are now at the bottom of the stairways to the beach, so it doesn't look like anyone can walk the beach at all. They are mesmerizing!
