When we moved to San Marcos, I was a bit disappointed that there was so
little riverfront property available in the city. After finishing my
explorations of the city parks that adjoin the river last night, I’m no
longer miffed. The southernmost park is probably the most lovely, with the
elephant ears that line the river continuing, but also augmented by several
enormous cypress trees along the water’s edge. There’s a dam that spans the
river with a large sluiceway in the middle, which the crowds of kids were
taking advantage of. The whole scene is overlooked by a nice little
restaurant with a deck. Wonderful spot. I concluded the evening’s
adventuring with a trip to the supermarket and some time in the kitchen
trying a new salsa recipe. Good, but not my favorite, and too much work.
