The park

Here's the view from Glen's apartment, looking down the street to the park.

As you can see, it's mostly hot, crowded pavement between the house and the park.

It seems like a shorter walk now that it did yesterday. But, when it's hot, Charlotte really does just run from shadow to shadow, trying to stay out of the hot sun as much as possible.

And here's the park itself. As you can see, it's just a dry, dusty place with just one tree. Well, it's got trees around it, but there's only one tree actually in the park.

There's a cafe in the park, and we've eaten there a couple of times. It's very dog friendly, as most restaurants and business are here. They even bring out a little pan of water for your dog while you're eating.

To the south of the park is a pedestrian zone, sort of an outdoor mall that stretches for several blocks. And a pretty heavily trafficked street to the north.

As I've said, it's not the best park, but it's only one within a few blocks. I'm sure we'll venture out further as I become more comfortable with the neighborhood.
