happy trails

Ferry Point Park is the only place you can go in Bermuda and not see anybody for a half hour or so and that is exactly what we love about it. On a very busy day, you might bump into ten people on your 45 minute walk there but on many days you would be alone for most of the walk - just you and the waves and the longtails. On this day, we were completely alone and with good reason: it was blowing 25 knots and a bitter northwesterly wind threatened to turn the stroller into a kite. Still, the dogs were excited to be in a place where they could pee indiscriminately for 45 minutes straight (if marking = possession then i think they now own a good three acres) and where they could smell something other than our living room. Blue was particularly impressed and reminded us of his younger self, bounding about little a sprightly young pup. Our hairless pup probably had the least fun... which is to be expected when you are strapped in a chair and thrust into cold, gale force winds against your will.
