bike me

panoramarama (click the above image to get a HUGE panoramic view - 2mb)

In an effort to be able to fit into my pants again, I have finally started to do some exercise. Lucky for me there's a nice bay trail only a mile or so from home. The ride through local streets is kinda sucky because I just hate riding a bike next to cars, but once I arrive at the marshes I'm rewarded with a magnificent view. I tried to take some pictures to convey what I see, but in the end I decided only the panorama would do. I loosely stitched together about 10 shots in photoshop so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about. I only wish you could hear the wind blowing across the water and see magnificent egrets fly slowly by.

As a super happy lucky mega bonus, at the trail head is this awesome Mexican/Peruvian place. It's not much to look at, but Cathryn and I went walking here over the weekend and decided to check it out. You know how you look for local places to eat that are absolutely amazing, but that no one knows about and Zagat hasn't reviewed? Well this is it! It's family owned and operated – the mom cooked the food and her son served it. I think I'll start writing to every weekly reader to try to get them to write a review about this place. It's awesome!
