It was a most exciting day today. I went to Boca Ciega Millennium Park to get exercise and explore. The park was featured in the St. Pete Times. It said there are statues and artwork located among the foliage throughout the back trails of the park. The article peeked my curiosity.

I was smart and took a bottle of water and my cell phone. Unfortunately, that is the extent of my smarts. My cell phone battery went dead and I got lost while I was exploring the various trails. One more example of why I should learn to pay attention when I go on adventures.

Eventually I found my way out of the wilderness and located a ladies' room at one of the picnic shelters. Hurray! There were maps with a sign reading, "Please Take One." For a moment this gave me comfort that I would be able to find my way back to where I parked my car. If they placed maps here for the taking, then other people must have gotten twisted around and lost. It wasn't just me. Yeah! I was happy.

Unfortunately, anyone that knows me understands that following maps or recipes isn't my strong suit. U finally stumbled upon my car and plugged my phone into the charger.

I had a lot of exercise today and learned some important safety lessons. The bonus was that the visit to Boca Ciega Millennium Park was worth the muscles that will be sore tomorrow. The artwork was truly unique and spectacular. The next time I visit I will pay attention or follow Hansel and Gretel's lead and leave a trail.
