I was in Irvine today and happened to take a walk around their wetlands ecological preserve. It isn't very big, but it is beautiful nonetheless, especially for an urbanite like myself. Or semisuburbanite? What do you call Long Beach?
The trail struck me as odd. A huge asphalt-paved trail circles the wetlands. No benches. Nowhere to sit down and enjoy the view. You have to keep moving, or wander into the bushes. Keep moving on the concrete we put down, ya hear? That's Irvine.
