Swimmin' holes

We've had some great swims over the past year. Alonissos is probably or our favorite place to swim in the world. There are about 15 to 20 beaches that are in our sweet spot  for beach features we love--pebbly, hardly any people, gentle waves, and incredible views. Sam loves to swim for her daily exercise and she was able to do her mile of 'laps' at a bunch of the Alonissos beaches.  But we also had nice swims in Australia and even here in Maine (though we've now passed the window for not freezing in the water).  Here are some drawings of Sam in these swimming spots.
