497 - 26th - Conch among the waves

Unlike majority of the beaches where shells are the ones you can get your hands easily on, conchs were the ones you could more easily find on the beaches of Celestun. They were so many in number that for once I felt maybe the hotel has spread them across the beach just to make the place look better. There small ones and there were big. There were white ones and there were ones with shades of brown. Never in my life have I seen so many conchs spread out in white sand.

I collected many and gave to my colleagues in office when I returned to Puebla :)
