We made it down to Labrador Park on our walk. At least on weekdays, the crowds outside have thinned out everywhere. Evenings are crowded so I imagine we may need to stay in on the weekends, but we'll see soon enough.

The signage in Labrador Park telling you what you can't do is plentiful.

• No sitting in rest shelters.
• No stopping in picnic pavilions.
• No sitting on benches.
• No sitting on logs to enjoy the view.
• No playing on fields.
• No groups - obviously.

We are allowed out for exercise, so keep moving and stick to the path, please.

Despite the Red Tape we saw so many birds: yellow Orioles, black mynas, a variety of doves, and the plentiful jungle fowls.  The songs were beautiful. Our Helper has been coming on walks with us. She showed us how these tiny ferns about a finger length long in the grass that pull their leaves in if you touch them. She said, "They go to sleep." The girls were thrilled and tried identifying and putting the plants to sleep over and over again.

We sought out the bird nest we had seen eggs in a month or 2 ago. The nest was still there, but any sign of eggs or birds was long gone.

It was low tide. MsE spotted a monitor lizard as we were leaving the Boardwalk. We watched him long enough to realize that he had made scratches in the sand all the way up the beach with his long claws. He had obviously been walking up the beach a long way. After a while the monitor lizard wandered off under the Boardwalk where we couldn't see him and we got to see him walking.

The breeze on the Boardwalk keeps the bugs away, and we hadn't realized that we would make it all the way to the Park. We'd been staying much closer to home. Anyhow, we hadn't put any bug spray on and our legs are now covered in itchy mosquito bites. MsI has it the worst. Probably 10 or more bites.

Irony would be getting Dengue Fever instead of Covid-19.
