Beach too busy.... no problem: swim in the river!

Yep, certainly with weather super nice and many people not working.... the beach gets super busy. Well, no problem: we go to the river and swim there! What beautiful surroundings, not very busy and with two weirs and a swing rope hanging from a tree in the water, we were guaranteed a good workout!!! My friend and I had a lot of fun. I swam against a very strong current caused by the weirs. And pulled myself up out of the water on the rope. I wasn’t brave enough to climb the tree and launch myself 🙈🤭, but pulling myself up the rope.... definitely a

NSV

I have never been able, as a kid or later on in life, to pull myself up! Yay, I managed today to pull myself up high enough to then let go. Fun, fun, fun!

No doubt we will be going back there!

Photo shows: the beauty of the river with one of the weirs in the background and my climbing feat 😜! Last photo: pranksters from the local school had put a chair in a spot that is difficult to reach, so when my friend challenged me, I couldn’t resist!!! Hence the big smile!
