Tarren wanted a cool park, and maybe the beach, too.

Thus I returned to one of my favorite spots of the 2010s, the place we used to lovingly call Rattlesnake park (never saw one, but the foliage, so high, it was VERY possible).

I expected, based on my previous visit, years earlier, to see the place neatly manicured, but NO. It was wild, overgrown, the tiny dry riverbed was RAGING, the place had been returned to nature! We went in a bit, forded the river, only to find my favorite spot was unreachable, it was the land of the bees, now.

Went back a bit, ended up taking most of our photos by and IN the river, Tarren’s a real one for that, far braver than I.

Are leeches in rivers, or lakes, or…?

In any event, such a day! As Tarren is a globetrotter, bouncing from the US to Europe to New Zealand and back and back again, I have a very thin window in which to hang out with her. We had to pack it in, driving all across town, taking pictures, playing in the river, eating at the seafood place across from the beach, it was a full day!

I took several Polaroids, this was #2, couldn’t beat it, tried real hard, peaked early, what can ya do!

DO IT AGAIN, NEXT TIME SHE’S IN-COUNTRY, THAT’S WHAT.
