Accidental Rock Collection

One thing that has somehow slowly happened from our travels is the creation of an inexplicable rock collection.  These now sit in a row on a shelf in our apartment and are often ignored.  Since I've been told not to talk about it and I fear that one day it may mystically disappear just as it came into existence I feel obligated to create an electronic trail to prove it existed.

1. Belize – The riverbed of a river going through a rainforest 25 miles Northwest of Belize City.

2. Egypt – The beaches of Sharm al Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula (pink/white granite).

3. England – Northern England near the crags east of Once Brewed on the trails along Hadrian’s Wall (coal).

4. Wales – Caswell Bay “Natural Area of Beauty” (white quartz).

5. Norway – Outskirts of the town of Kirkenes, only 15 km from the Russian Border (sandstone).

6. Norway – Ridges of the mountains surrounding the fjord and city of Tromso (sandstone).

7. Scotland – The north eastern edge of Loch Lomond.

8. Scotland – From the top of Arthur’s Seat overlooking the medieval city of Edinburgh (siltstone).

9. Sweden – Beaches of Malmo close to the Twisting Torso.
