Paradise Canyon, TX located along the Medina River is an virtual gem of relaxation only 20 minutes outside Bexar county. Friends invited us to spend some time with them out there on Father's Day weekend and we've continued going on weekends since. Offering daily or overnight use, we went camping this weekend (I know, the fourth of July, crowded right? Not at all for overnight) and had the most relaxing time. My husband, who is incredibly stressed at work, did nothing but sit and enjoy the rushing of the water over the rocks, the chirping of the crickets, the croaking of the frogs and the whoosh of the wind blowing through the trees. Even being as aqua phobic as he is, he sat in the "natural jacuzzi" (formed by the rapids) with me for over an hour. Being a city girl myself, I loved sitting in my camp chair in the middle of the river, enjoyed the sun on my skin and watching the leaves float as the current dragged them further down river. The only parts that weren't enjoyable were the snake that swam so close to us we could almost touch it, the animals that took off with our trash bag (our fault for leaving it out overnight), the group of overenthusiastic night fishermen who decided our campsite looked like a great spot to fish and not having a real toilet (yes I am a city girl!). Oh and my newly lobster-like skin! We're going back in three weeks for our 10-year anniversary and I'm looking forward to it!
