There is a trail by me that abruptly turns into a tight roundabout circling 2 banana trees. It's a nice spot to take a break and wait for the trail to clear up because it's a nice downhill twisty ride that gets really fast. Couldn't help but look up today and see some food.
On the nicest beach days, the resort hotel above the south end of South Ponto Beach sets up a hospitality canopy for its guests on the gravel berm. On this day, the cheery 20-something guy staffing the canopy was passing time stacking the berm's thoroughly rounded beach cobbles — no easy feat.
