I became accustomed to walking 5+ miles a day while I was in Peru, and being home for only two days got me into the sedentary lazy mode that I had been in for almost the last year.
In an effort to ditch that laziness, I made my way to the local bicycle shop, and purchased myself a bicycle. I had threatened to do it for a long time now, and I finally broke down and made the purchase.
It is a red aluminum frame that really caught my eye. It is quite possibly the nicest bike I’ve ever had, and I get really happy to ride it. It is smooth and very comfortable.
Today is the second day I commuted to work by bicycle, and man my butt hurts. Seriously! Who knew the bumpy roads of Pasadena and about 6 years since I last rode a bicycle on a regular basis would leave me feeling so... sore. Someone referred to it as being "saddle-sore" which just made me laugh.
I'm still not yet adjusted to "real life" around here. I did manage to get some photos of the first two weeks at Ayacucho. Most of the photos with me in them were not taken by me. This set of pictures is not my documentary, but more of a travel-journal of sorts. Two weeks in Ayacucho, Peru
