Aoos River - Greece!!


Aoos River originates from Mavrovouni mountain (part of the Northern Pindos mountain chain in Greece). It flows in NW direction through Albania and discharges into the Adriatic Sea. The total length of the river is about 260 km, with the first 80 km in Greece.

The area is located in the Greek region of Ipiros (prefecture Ioannina). The river is part of the Vikos-Aoos National Park, where hunting is mostly prohibited. The region is mainly mountainous with special beauty and very rich flora and fauna. The river section between the village of Vovoussa and the city of Konitsa (60,000 inhabitants) is used for different water sports (rafting and canoe-kayak). Traditional old Greek villages like the Zagorohoria of particular tourist interests are located in the area.

Glass Beach, Mendocino California!!

Glass Beach is a beach in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg, California that is abundant in sea glass created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town


Glass Beach is one of the most unique beaches in the world, not because nature created it that way, but because time and the pounding surf have corrected one of man's mistakes.

Beginning in 1949, the area around Glass Beach became a public dump. It is hard to believe these days, but back then people dumped all kinds of refuse straight into the ocean, including old cars, and their household garbage, which of course included lots of glass. By the early sixties, some attempts were made to control what was dumped, and dumping of any toxic items was banned. Finally in 1967, the North Coast Water Quality Board realized what a mistake it was and plans were begun for a new dump away from the ocean.


Now, over 30 years later, Mother Nature has reclaimed this beach. Years of pounding wave action have deposited tons of polished glass onto the beach. You'll still see the occasional reminder of it earlier life, such as a rusted spark plug, but for the most part what you'll see is millions of pieces of glass sparkling in the sun.

In addition to searching for and collecting glass, Glass Beach has a very interesting array of tide pools to explore. Crabs, mollusks, and many aquatic plants make their homes in these ever changing environments. It is very easy to spend your whole day poking around the tide pools and watching the busy little worlds that go on inside each one.
