Durand Eastman Beach July 2025

I took this photo a few days ago when it wasn’t a holiday weekend and the temperature was quite a bit cooler. Today this beach and the shoreline for miles to the left would be jam packed. We can hear the motorboats and the music from our house. I took a photo near here on the 4th a few years back that shows a group roasting a whole pig.

We didn’t make it down to the beach today. We got a walk in and stopped at the garden but we had two soccer matches to watch, the last two of the quarter finals of the Club World Cup. The tournament is taking place in the US and for the first time a few US clubs were participating. Miami with Messi even got out of the group stage but US soccer is not there yet. Real Madrid is the only Spanish team left and they won today. A funny thing happened while we watched Paris Saint-Germain beat our favorite Spanish teams and eventually win the Champions League. We fell in the love with the team. The way they pass, attack the ball and clearly enjoy playing the game. They play like a real team and that makes this squad better than they were when they had the three superstars, Messi, Neymar and Mbappé.
