Beach Volley Ball

While at the beach in Hermosa over the weekend, I couldn't help but notice that something was going on. There was a large grandstand, TV cameras and crowds of people. It was a professional beach volley ball championship. I had no idea all of that would be there.

Below is gold medalist Kerri Walsh. She's the one with the long gorgeous legs. I had no idea that volley ball players were so tall. I usually tower over people, but next to her, I felt short and stalky.

This seems like a strange sport. The girls are real athletes, yet they have to wear itsy bitsy bikinis. Whose idea was that? The men wear modest trunks. Why aren't they required to wear Speedos to make things a little more fair?

If you can do it, it seems like a nice way to make a living. It must be nice to spend one's days at the beach, exercising in the sun. It sure beats emptying bedpans.
