This baby boy followed us for a while. Perhaps his parents are
victims of the
storm surge damage along with him. Interestingly we did not see
any reliefworkers anywhere during our foot work in the affected
beaches.
He is protecting himself from sun by shading his eyes by one
handwondering what in t he world we were doing.
