No, this isn't the view from my current room on Skopelos island in Greece, instead, this is the roar of the Atlantic Ocean from my balcony in Melbourne Beach in Florida last February. But, oh my, I felt like I was on the ocean, when I took the ferry from Skopelos to Skiathos island. Winds were so strong, they cancelled the smaller ferry later in the afternoon, so I had to scramble, pack and leave Skopelos five hours earlier than planned, hence the lateness of this week's Main Event Monday!
Observe the whitecaps in this image above, taken from my balcony in Skopelos?! Compare it to the photo below of the calm waters I had throughout my week on the island.
Now, I have to admit, I'm partial to seas, but in my post World Oceans Day 2015, Water Everywhere, I did include a few more photos of oceans I have encountered in my travels, as well as other bodies of water. Teachers: Check out Oceans and Rivers and Bays, for ideas for your classroom!
