Story & Experience
I did my event on June 17, because that’s when I could schedule it. It was an overcast day. It was just me, my nephew, and a friend of his. We went to Dane Beach and wandered about finding seaweed and shells so we each could make our version of the Radjoy bird. Then we stood at the edge of the ocean and read some prayers that I had found. Afterwards my nephew and his friend had some of the snacks that had been holding the Radjoy flag on the sand. The sandcastles were there when we got to the beach, but I thought they were so beautiful that I included them in our pix of the event. We all had a good time!
