Vacation

We just got back from a short vacation in Cape May. Although I enjoyed my time off, I think I need more than a week to really unwind. Next year, I'll see if we can schedule ten days instead of seven.

What did I accomplish?

I rode a bike every day. It was my 'beater' bike - Bianchi frame, no computer, 53x16 gearing, front brake (no rear), cork bar end plugs. I also accidentally wrapped the bar tape backwards, but I think it gives it more character.

I read a book. Vonnegut's 'Galapagos' on the beach.

No sunburn. We are using Neutrogena SPF 45 and SPF 70, both work great.

Hung out with friends. Mike and Sharon introduced us >25 years ago and we spent the day talking, had dinner, drinks, and promised not to wait another year to do it again.

Next year I want to schedule vacation for ten days, which will probably be enough time to really unwind and recharge our batteries.
