Sport Day!

Today was the first annual Sport Festival in Saarbrücken - 14 stations of activities, from archery to uni-cycling. Okay, so my long jump sucks, but I did manage to do the one-legged balance act and didn't kill anyone on the in-line skates. I even found a few new muscle groups that have never been exercised before.
I earned my Medaille.

Next goal: the 10km Sparkassen City Lauf 17.juli.

PS 24h later: wow, I can identify every exercise by the stiff muscle group today :-)
Who knew that operating a wheelchair used that muscle?

The Mill Bay Crawl

The goal: run to the local Thrifty Foods for milk and back. The result: have asparagus, but no steam to run back. Somewhere between a star and a snake ... peacock perhaps? Yes, spotted on a rooftop in Mill Bay Theme Park and Wilderness Refuge a.k.a. Mom & Dad's back yard.

Beach bums

Dateline Vancouver. Our locale: Jericho Beach Youth Hostel. Our mission: reset our jetlagged internal clocks to local Pacific Savings Time. Up and out the door at 8:30AM. Made it as far as Spanish Banks and back in time for pancake breakfast.

Mission accomplished!
