A Trip to Lota

On Saturday, March 8th, we headed south, down the coast to a town called Lota. Lota is located right on the ocean. It is one of those towns that you instantly fall in love with.

These cute little cottages were located right by the beach. It looked like a mighty fine vacation home to me.

I love the tall tree in this picture. It reminds me of something you would see in a Dr.Suess book.

 Just hanging out on the beach. It was a little chilly because of the cool breeze. You can see part of the town in the background. It just curves around the beach.

 What a view these people have! I wonder if they ever get tired of looking at the ocean waves?

 This is another view of the harbor. If you look close you can see a bunch of little fishing boats.

 They have all kinds of different flowers all year round. These are some of the autumn flowers.

It looks like someone is building a new house. The homes here are very small.

        This is another look at the beach from a different angle.

 This old train was on display at the plaza in the center of town. It reminded me of something you would see on display in the United States.

A big church by the plaza in the center of town. I loved the beautiful architecture of the building.

This is a look at the inside of the building. The round window was very beautiful. By the way, it was ok to take a pictures in this building.

This was a man that Elder L talked to on the beach. He was catching clams by running an airhose out to the ocean and pumping air into the ocean. This would cause the clams to release and wash ashore. His grandchildren would then pick up the clams. He had quite a load full.
