Bike ride

Had my first Spanish conversation this evening on the bus ride home. A mother was having a conversation with her small son. I said to her "Cuantos anos?" She replied "Tres." I nodded OK. I hope to actually learn some Spanish out here. This evening Karen and Kris went to the library and shopping, and Katie and I hooked up the bikes for a ride. It was over 100 when we left, but the sun was going down and it was dry and there was nice breeze and we took water. If you want to find where the hills are, ride a bike! We rode to church and back, then to the grocery store (H-E-B is named for Howard Edward Butt - insert joke here), and then of course we had to investigate the Baskin&Robbins! When we got back from our four-mile excursion we soaked our feet in the pool. Bugs, our bunny, seems to be settling in to Austin existence - his digestive tract took a hiatus for about 4-5 days after he arrived and had us concerned it would stay shut down. Ah, yes, a picture: this is a car that parks near our apartment - apparently it is associated with a local chicken wings restaurant.
