As you all know, Charlie loves to swim. And now that the weather is nice, I want to take him swimming every day. I can't really do it, but I've managed to get him in the water at least every weekend in June. After
being frustrated by our usual options, I took him behind a factory in Natick, at the recommendation of someone in the
b0st0n community. Although the parking lot was filled with no trespassing, will tow, police take notice, etc. signs, there were a couple other groups of people there, around the bend in the pond from me, fishing. Except for feeling like the cops were going to run me off at any minute, this was a good choice. As it turns out, this is part of
Lake Cochituate, a historically important and surprisingly large body of water. The waves seen above are the aftermath of a passing motorboat.
