One of the only things we love about our little city is the Delta, a body of water in which the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers meet and then funnel out to the sea. We live about five minutes from the Antioch Marina, which might lead you to believe we live in a nice area, but that is not the case. It's so strange to me that here, the closer you get to the water, the trashier it gets. But anyways, we love the Delta and it has become our new favorite place to go to on free dates. The marina is beautiful and maintained well because it's a Dow Wetlands Preserve so it's not a scary place to hang out, like the rest of our neighborhood. We went on a walk around the marina the other night and while we were circling it, the tide came in. It flooded past the tule reeds and cattails and over the sidewalk. It was only about six inches deep but it was still really exciting and we had fun wading back to dry groud. We even saw a baby bass swim across the sidewalk on our way back. We're really happy to have found such a quiet little place to spend evenings together free of charge, and we look forward to exploring the other natural wonders of our not-so-wonderful little city.
