E. coli is not just on your lettuce, spinach,etc. You can get E.coli from the water and sand on the beach. As a result, some beaches that have high levels of it are closing during the summer.

I promise you here on our beaches are more than just E.coli. I'm going to try and load this picture hold thumbs!This was a photograph taken in 2004 in December on a beach in Durban, a city 200 km away from us. I tried to find one for our beach but couldn't find one, but look at this and you will know what I mean! but before you open it brace yourself!

The picture says New Year's Day. Is it any better during other days?

There's probably worse types of bacteria than e coli in the water. On the beaches around here, birds are always pooping in the sand, and probably in the water. I try not to think about it, but I know it's there.

That's right! Try not to think about it. Lock your doors, close the curtains and ask someone to slide food under your door once in a while..perhaps pancakes...lol...it's coming to that.

I am suddenly grateful I have no plans to go to the beach.

I love the beach, but it is not the same anymore. Everything is changing.
