Yesterday Jacque decided it would be a good day to ride the tandem to lunch at the Senior Center. It was a second day of good sunshine so we rolled the machine out of the garage, loaded ourselves up, and rode our Terratrike Tandem the 2 miles to the Senior Center.
We enjoyed a nice chili and baked potato lunch, visited with a couple of our new Missouri friends, and rode back home again.
Thankfully, the streets and roads here are mostly wide and the traffic is of the small town variety and we've encountered no challenges as of yet.
Today, Thursday, we would have loved to ride around again, but the sun did not present itself. It was dark and thick fog when we awoke, and it turned to rain and mush before noon, and it continued to rain heavily all day. So today we drove instead. Obviously we are NOT going to enjoy 300+ days of sunshine out here......
The humidity here so far is difficult to adjust to. We've been southwest desert rats for so long that it may take us a while. We spent most of the summer in Tennessee with HOT humidity and now it seems maybe worse here in the early winter. Everything is so green here: Part of it in brush and grass and weeds, part of it in fungus. The ground seems always a bit soggy even after several days of sunshine, unlike NM.
