This weekend was extremely warm, definitely in the 80s with lots of humidity. I got to wear my sundress! On Saturday, I went with Isabel and Beate to a community pool where you can swim laps. It’s the first time I’ve swam laps since middle school swim lessons. Needless to say, I was way too weak, but I did a little backstroke and breast swimming.
Sunday, I went to visit Roma Street Parklands, a huge park located within the city. Along the way, I stopped at Wickham Park, a very small park whose name reminded me of Pride and Prejudice. At Roma, you first saw a huge grassy area and a map detailing all the little sections of gardens they had. Fern Valley, this rainforest area, marsh, and different flower areas. It was all gorgeous, especially the variety of flowers. I especially liked the part where they cut the bushes into shapes. There was a caterpillar, kangaroo, elephant, and giraffe. There were lots of little ponds and waterfalls as well. It was easy to forget that you were in the middle of a city. Here, I saw my first water dragon! Contrary to the name, they go on land too. I saw him crawl up some vines.
