Neon and Bicycles

Lately we've been dreaming of getting our Surly touring bikes and taking our first bike tour. I'm not sure when all of that will come together, but the wheels are turning on that idea.

In the meantime, we got ourselves a couple of cheap, recycled bicycles from our neighbor. He rescues them from going to the landfill and brings them back to life.

Weekend rides are longer and our daily rides are to the nearby forests. Mostly we ride to our favorite hiking spots, hike, and then ride home. A couple of weekends ago, we took the ferry to mainland and rode around for a bit.

Hopefully cars can spot us more easily with these bright, neon t-shirts that we wear. I wear my bicycle helmet when riding. I just didn't have it on while on the ferry:)

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
