After an unsettling night at work decided to visit this festival to recharge my batteries. Arrived to find free parking, but no festival tickets available after the 90 minute drive.

Later I learned tickets were available, but only with cash, and since I had none on me explored other options.

In my search for a loo found this lovely, serene park far away from the maddening crowd. Just what I needed!

What a beautiful trail to walk.

And finding a loo on these grounds made my visit complete.

Plus a library with free reading material for my return home.

You never know what you’ll find when you travel..

Let’s end with more pics of those extraordinary balloons 🎈 on this pristine evening.
