Keep Smiling

We were in Pacific Grove for a few days last week.  The weather was outstanding!  Sunny and warm and so clear….ahhh.  I am longing to go back.

We took our bikes along with us this trip.  We got settled in, did a couple of errands in the car on Sunday afternoon and then only rode the bikes after that until Tuesday.

We rode down the beach, up the beach, around Pacific Grove and into Monterey.  It was so much fun!  There is a really nice bike path all the way up the coast.  While you ride, you can see the ocean and waves, birds and seals.  We saw a sea otter and a whole bunch of harbor seals.  There are places to stop along the way – either for a view or food and/or drink. 

When we were heading back, the last hill was taking its toll on me.  On the other side of the street was an elderly lady walking towards us.  She saw me struggling and laughing.  She waved at us and said something quite remarkable, “Keep smiling!”

I asked Ken if he thought maybe she read my blog…..
