Potatoes in the Mist

 The kids and I are in Kyoto. It feels like the real Japan, less citified than Tokyo. Coming back from dinner, we saw a river with stepping stones, and waded across. 

 The kids and I had such a good time in Fort Lauderdale today. We went to El Camino, where I had fish tacos and a strawberry margarita, and then we took a boat down the river (for free). There was a dog named Brian on board. 

 Hi blog! It’s been a while. Eric took this picture of the eclipse. We weren’t on the path of totality, but in 2045 we will be.

 Today Eric and I rode our bikes from Sunny Isles to Dania Beach. It was over 16 miles round trip. We passed through Hollywood, which has a honky tonk beach section, and then we went through a more rustic area that had Nantucket vibes. After I turned around, he continued to Fort Lauderdale. It was a nice ride, and a bit of an adventure, but unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures.

 I signed up for a 5K and now I’m addicted. 12 called me Speed McQueen 😊

 I am excited! The kids and I are going to see Billy Joel and Sting in Tampa. 

 I took a long bike ride today. About 15 miles. Most of it was on a path by the ocean (first sand, then paved). When I got home, I had 2 pumpkin waffles with maple syrup and strawberry Greek yogurt on top. It was very satisfying.
