On two wheels

20171217_183643.jpg

We decided to take a bicycle tour out to the countryside.  It was a splurge financially but there is no way that we could undertake the trip on our own.  We rode down a maze of small streets and alleys, travelled to the countryside outside of Chiang Mai.  The traffic was unsettling at times, often we were in between two moving vehicles, but we made it.  Addie did crash her bike on the country lane, going to fast around the corner, and she emerged with road burn, but otherwise okay.  We had decent bikes and helmets which is hard to come by.  In total we covered 38 km.  At one point we were amongst motorbikes and cars, going down a busy market street.  It was exhilarating to really be in it.

  2. The kids keep looking older and you and Cork keep looking younger! Our future new home Independence is a small, flat quiet Willamette Valley riverfront village, great for biking and walking, which we haven’t done much in Portland/Milwaukie. Still a few months to totally-moving-in day, but we are slowly taking things down and getting things ready. It might seem dull by comparison, but we’re happy with that. Hope we can keep up with you in 2018–Happy New Year!
