April 25th 2026: Daffodils in Dartmouth and more of Fall River

 We started out this morning in Dartmouth,

Russells Mills Pond,
885 Rock O'Dundee Road

Russells Mill Landing

going on a hike at Parsons Reserve to find the daffodil field here, which was in bloom today and with many visitors. The path we took here to view the daffodils is shown below in pink.

A little steep at the very beginning, but a short distance to the daffodils overall, which were exceptional today.

Lunch was at Sivalai Thai Cuisine, a Thai restaurant in town with pretty nice decor inside.

We got the Chicken Spicy Dumplings (Fried, stuffed with chicken and Vegetable. Served with ginger sauce)

the Dumpling Tom Yum (Stuffed pork dumpling with Tom Yum soup spicy and sour),

the Num Tok (Spicy Beef Salad, grilled beef with red onion, cilantro roasted ground rice and scallion, mixed with spicy lime dressing)

and the Pad Kee-Mao (Drunken Noodles, stir fried wide rice noodles, with egg, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, basil leaves).

The dumplings were just so-so, the tom yum being a tad sweet, but the smokiness of the beef in the salad and the noodles more than made up for them. Overall, glad we decided to check this place out.
