Comments: Walking day today. Visited the Charles C. Jensen Botanical Garden at 8520 Fair Oaks Blvd today. The park has a diversity of flowers, plants, and tall trees. It has trash strewn about. It was smaller than I expected, but it had a variety of terrain which I enjoyed. The parking lot for the botanical garden is adjacent to the park on the western side, a chain-link fence surrounding a patch of dirt. Traffic can be heard and seen from the park, so one never quite fully escapes into the peace and beauty of the lush vegetation. While I waited for my friend to arrive, I passed the time counting traffic. About 15-20 cars passed by me to the east every 60 seconds. Mentally I noticed I was about 75%, and I noticed I felt hungry and a bit thirsty by the end of the walk.
