We didn’t have to be to work until 2:00 today, which was lovely. I slept in. Emily and I met and had lunch downtown and then we went to work. It was amazingly low key. I worked some eyebrows and moved a monitor. That was about it.
There was one glorious thing, though. I biked home from work. Back in Portland I always rode to work, so I was biking twelve miles almost every day. I haven’t been on a bike since I got here. We keep talking about biking to work because it’s about the same distance as what I was biking at home. Today, Rob biked to work while I drove. And then I biked home while he drove. We’re hoping that we’ll be able to have his bike shipped over from the States and then we can both bike. Meanwhile, this will work.

Wow, Impressive! I don’t remember seeing anyone on a bike when I was there, are drivers taken aback? do you ride on sidewalks? Biking along sections of the ring road would be the ultimate in … in… something, I’m not sure what, but it would be lovely.
Cyclist ride on the sidewalks here, which is taking me some getting used to for me.
