A whole lot of drinking going on!

And I thought the stories about Russian drunks were exaggerated?

There’s nothing better to do when the sun doesn’t rise and the temperature outside could kill you in minutes.

Wouldn’t that be dangerous to walk on? No all of the ‘pebbles’ are rounded.

Swimmers/bodysurfers/sailors around Lake Michigan (and the oceans, I’m sure) know to do this when they find some broken glass on the beach: if the piece of glass isn’t too dangerous, go out about 1/4 of a mile and throw it in the water. By the time it makes the trip back to shore, it will be pretty enough to make some little kid very happy when he or she finds it.

I suggest reading “Travels in Siberia” by Ian Frazier.

A travelogue of his obsession with Siberia.

At one point he traveled from Petersburg to Vladivostok in a panel van. One of his last stops before getting into Vladivostok was this beach.

It’s an interesting insight into the minds of the Russian peoples and just how miserable life is there, yet, the folks keep moving on.

The bit about the van breaking down near an intersection, the driver going out into the grass, picking up a spare part that fit, putting it in and them driving away is particularly funny.

Used to put pieces of glass (cobalt blue) into my rock tumbler and made aquarium “pretties” out of them.

Yep. Russians love their vodka and sadly abortions. I suspect the two issues are connected.

A few states in the Middle East are in need of a glass beach.

Believe it or not, those “sea glass” pebbles sell on eBay for good money.

There is a lady in my neighborhood who is really into collecting sea glass. She goes quite often to the beach and collects sea glass.

On the islands and shore around Boston Harbor, that is known as "Sea Glass"...
