We have cycle paths all around us that our kids love trekking through. We even cycle the 5mins to school through the woods. The only hassle? Our town has badass hills everywhere. You cannot go more than 200m from our house without hitting an incline of some sort. But it isn't difficult to make sure the routes include a pub or tea shop; trust me, in our town, that's NOT a problem!Jabulanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847825459654555235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-12785508766627274492010-03-19T15:24:54.275-04:002010-03-19T15:24:54.275-04:00Great job capturing the imagery of the beach and y...Great job capturing the imagery of the beach and your biking adventure.<br /><br />As for your over-stuffed reading chair, we have a rule in my house: No books on vacation.<br /><br />Is it sad that I actually saw your curve coming? Everytime the beach comes up my aunt and uncle shudder with their story about "the dead guy on the beach" their first day in Mexico a few years back. A man had jumped into the water and hit his head. He made it out of the ocean fine but it only a matter of time before everyone was screaming for help. My young cousins watched their mother (a nurse) run to the assistance of a man who appeared to be dying... He was still alive when EMS loaded him into the back of an ambulance but it didn't look good. Unlike you and your family, they had a very hard time enjoying the rest of their vacation.<br /><br /><>< KatieKatie Axelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09361471654719262744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-54531911315004224862010-03-19T15:06:21.676-04:002010-03-19T15:06:21.676-04:00Powerful post.

A...Powerful post.<br /><br />As always ..eloquently written.<br /><br />As I sipped my coffee,I felt as though I was with you on vacation in my mind's eye ..almost able to smell the salt air and feel the balmy breezes.<br /><br />I am sorry that happened for all involved.<br /><br />We never know and something like that ..something so random certainly does cause one to wonder "Why?".<br /><br />I also feel bad for the pilot ..now having to carry that burden ..even tho it was an accident ..no doubt they will second guess all of their actions that day.<br /><br />I wonder if we will be able to learn the reasons when we cross over into our next life?<br /><br />I trust these senseless things make more sense in the larger picture that we can't see.<br /><br />It is so sad ..tho..they were probably on vacation too.<br /><br />You said "(I'll admit, their flair for drama is my fault)". Too funny! I love when you can see traits passed on thru family lines.SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-74383007496734253412010-03-19T14:08:48.849-04:002010-03-19T14:08:48.849-04:00I heard about that on my way to work and I felt so...I heard about that on my way to work and I felt so awful for that poor man and his family. I also feel horrible for the pilot because in some way he will carry the knowledge that his plane killed that poor man. <br /><br />I'm glad you and yours are safe and sound and came back with mostly good memories.Mahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860979377398925052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-23001175984916074602010-03-19T10:18:58.103-04:002010-03-19T10:18:58.103-04:00OH MY GOSH!

Although I was relieved that the details of the victim's life didn't match yours, I was saddened by the tragic fate that befell the jogger on HHI. I also wondered if you were in the vicinity when it happened. I am glad that you enjoyed your spring vacation. Thanks for another beautifully-written post.
