I love Tahoe sand : beautiful, clean, coarse tiny grainy bits of perfectly polished rocks that I love to run my hands through, shape into castles and bury my feet in. I had a feeling that Vera would loooooove playing in it too, and she did. She could sit contentedly for a good long while with bucket and shovel in hand or even just picking up handfuls and watching it sift away.
...what a long, full, wonderful trip we had - I'm going to have to share it in incremements...
