I wanted to make sure that there were tree-lined paths from the upland to the water, that there were trees and plantings everywhere, and, of course, lots and lots of places to sit.
Queria ter a certeza de que havia caminhos ladeados de árvores  desde o interior até à água, de que havia árvores e arbustos  por toda a parte e, claro, montes e montes de sítios  para nos sentarmos.
