Day: 71

Day 71 -2.JPG

Vito, says my life here on the beach is just like the life of a dog. Get up, eat, lay around, eat, drink, take a walk, take a nap, eat, drink, sleep. Now while things might not be exactly like that, I can see the comparison makes some sense.

This morning I woke up early, a little prior to seven, and still excited about my new bike I decided to go for a ride to start getting myself in shape. I rode about 15 miles, from Balboa Pier to Huntington Pier and back again. The only thing this made me realize is exactly how out of shape I am. My goal that I have set for myself is to be able to ride 50 miles a day, with my bike fully loaded, by the 29th of this month. That gives me roughly two and half weeks.

I got back from my ride, ate breakfast, took a nap, read a book (The Shipping News, which I found in a closet here), ate lunch, had a drink (Goose Cape Cod, finally some Goose Nellie!), sat on the patio watching the world go by, had another drink, read some more, took another little ride with my friend Daniel, had another drink, ate dinner with the family, and went to sleep. I think Vito is right, my life is extremely similar to the amount of responsibilities of a dog.
