Trees at Night
It was a tough teaching day. It seemed to drag on forever and I was feeling pretty tired when I got on the bus to go home. It didn’t help that there was an accident somewhere up the road slowing … Continue reading

Where Are We Going?
My cycling club does an admirable job of maintaining their website. They even send out quite a bit of email about upcoming events. I don’t always pay attention to it all, but I did note that something special was going … Continue reading

Unexpectedly Perfect
After we got back from cycling and the rush it gave me, I expected the rest of the day would be just okay. I was completely wrong on this front. Our guide offered his own personal tour. He said it … Continue reading
