Explore a forest #10



While spending countless hours in front of my computer today, surprisingly procrastinating with style, I decided I needed to accomplish something worth while. I don't know if that was my lazy bones speaking or the fact that I had just watched the original Karate Kid.

At first I was thinking about going to the library and actually getting work done. I rode my bike, but then discovered that I book I requested was in. I ended up reading the entire little book: Guinea Pig PI #6: Going, Going, Dragon. It's a sweet graphic novel about a couple small animals and the mysteries they solve in Mr. Venezi's pet shop. I've been putting off reading this last installment. Rightfully so, I cried at the end.

I left feeling a bit daring and curious to check out a park I'd overheard my co-workers talking about. Consulting my smartphone, I saw it wasn't too far away. If the ride there was too much for me, an amateur biker, I figured I'd just turn around and come right back home.

However, once I got there, I just had to explore! I didn't even bother reading the maps, I just let my app keep track of where I was and I started off on the route. It was a good mix of cement, smooth dirt and grass paths. At one point I rode over a bridge, I couldn't believe the view of this pond. How have I lived here all my life and never visited this park before?

I will be back soon!
