Light House Park - The Continued Adventure

This trip to Light House Park I wore runners... in reference to my entry of my last visit - I had worn flip flops and almost fell into the ocean...

Packed with an extra sweater, runners, water bottle and some books I headed to light house park for a nice quiet solitude adventure.

I arrive to find millions of KIDS running around every possible path yelling and blowing air horns - it was some day camp and they were playing some adventure game.

Well good thing for me I have a secret secluded spot... I'll try and find a picture to post... anyway - this is where I almost killed myself last time.
BUT I was very careful to shimmy down the cliff to the ocean front rocks.

WOW - breathe taking... quiet... ahhhhhhhhhhhh relief!

ALMOST - except now I have to pee!!!!!!

Well, there didn't appear to be any ships about to come around the corner, nor were there any peoples walking above me - so I proceeded to sneak a quick bladder release on the rocks in the corner of this crevice. AS I get my pants down (if this is too much info please skip to next paragraph) and start allowing the relief to flood my body this BIG FAT COCKROACH comes flying up from in between the rocks... AHHHHHHHHHHH I almost pee'd myself. (I mean I almost got pee on my pants). I quickly shuffled over trying to get away... and also trying to keep watch for passing ships and hikers.
Thank GOD those fat little guys can't jump or he'd probably bit my bum.

So -- then back to enjoying the ocean... ahhhhhhhhhh the cool ocean breeze brushing along my face - blowing my hair - running through my fingers...
I laid on the rock the sun beating down on me, the wind blowing and waves lapping...
(Just want to make sure you can picture it...)

I decided to go exploring a bit... so walked - well more like mountain climbed - along the rocks and tried no to fall in the ocean. I came across this area - the tide was out - but pools of water were trapped in these crevices... and I got to see things a girl from the prairies has never seen... little tiny crabs, a snail - with his shell on walking along, little fishy things, a crab fight, and other weird things - I wish I had brought my camera. (Did you know I always wanted to be a marine biologist when I was young - it was the whole shark issue that stopped me - perhaps).

Well... after all that excitement I realized I was starving - so before I resorted eating little live crabs or trying to catch my own lunch I headed to McDonalds for a well balanced meal of carbs and fat! yummy what a great end to a perfect day!
