July 27

We took a guided walk through a National Park

The token obnoxious group member was never short of a remark

Beautiful tree-scattered cliffs gave way to a river

The cloud coverage and wet boots brought on a shiver

Tom was adamant that the guide had brought cocaine

His white powder turned out to be baking soda - which was tame

Later we took the bus to the sprawling city of Santa Cruz

And found a sweet hostel with good Internet to use
