BICYCLES February 20, 2009

After watching four of our friends ride home from dinner on bikes as we hiked along the highway, we decided to make a change.

Today we borrowed Peggy and Bob's bikes to run our errands! The pure speed of peddling along the sidewalk was heaven. We rode from 35th street to 90th street, just above the airport. We stopped at all sorts of stores. We even had lunch at Wendy's! Our life is going to change.

We looked up Winddrifter and bought the two bikes he advertised over the 9 a.m. radio. It was cash on the line. Debbie even rode the smaller bike and the wheels did go around! Come Monday when they leave Boot Harbor we will be the proud owners of two very old rusty bikes with lock--to make sure no one steels them! Our world has just openned up to anywhere we can sail or peddle!

Debbie also tried to get a new battery for her camera and did not succeed. The old one is quickly failing. We hope it will last a few more weeks.

Four friends from Indiana are headed our way and should arrive about 8 p.m. tonight. We plan to take Catrina to the Marina to pick them up because poor Tigger would probably be underwater with over three adults and luggage! The fun begins!
