Grettings from Lin and me in Los Organos, Peru. As you can see checking out the latest submissions below, the winter storms have scraped away sand and laid bare the underlying rock with its COVER OF SEA GLASS.
Kind of like digging for gold in a creek bed, you have to get down the bedrock to find the gold that has sifted down until it is stopped.
To be brief, lots of stuff turning up and many of you have had some great finds!
-------------------------------
Here is a little reminder to check out the upload features on "Catch of the Day,", where you can contribute your photos on what you find at the beach today (tonight, tomorrow, whatever). It works so smooooooth.
If you have more than one photo you would like to share, feel free to send us an email by clicking on the pic of us above.
For this week, we would invite any of you to share a short story of your beach impressions (funny, sad, or exciting) and get a link to the website or blog of your choice.

With over 170 pages of photos and info, it is impossible to remember where you saw what on the Odyssey Sea Glass site! Be SURE to make full use of the search box with the link below. BOOKMARK the searchbox page. It works GREAT and has gotten a lot better at finding specific words and phrases. This is a probably (at least to me) the most important page on the site...but then again, my memory is shot ;-). Anyway, I hope you find the search feature as helpful as I do!
