A welcome sight

as one exits the building to start the walk.

I mentioned these beautiful sun shade umbrellas before, they sure come in very handy as there is very little shade in these huge gardens.

Also the jugs of fresh ice water with lemon, cucumber or mint in it. ( 2 were not out yet)

I was there for over 2 hours and it was hot!
