It has been an interesting few days getting to know my new neighborhood on foot, bike and bus. I am certainly quite familiar with the area - but it is so much more intimate walking through the the neighborhood seeing people out in their gardens, smelling the grills going and getting to know the best routes - or the not so much! As I was walking yesterday to get a pedicure I came to where the sidewalk ends .... and not the fun kind that Shel Silverstein described. It was the kind where the sidewalk literally ends and I had to walk through the dirt before being able to cross the street. (Good thing that was on the way to get the pedicure and not on the way home!!)
I also found that it was almost as fast to catch a bus back to my "old neighborhood" to meet a new friend than it would have been to drive. Yippee!!!!! Well ---- it was easy to get there - not as easy to get back, but good thing I was able to get a ride home. Bummer that what took me 20 minutes to go there would have taken me 70 minutes to get back. I will have to do some more investigating .... as I am not sure if that was because it was a weekend or what .... But, good to know that I do have options!
Happy 4th of July!!! Where will you bike/walk/bus this month?
