Busy day!

This morning we did our normal chores and then went to pick up my new bicycle. I forgot to mention that yesterday. I got a new commute bike :-) It is much lighter than my old one and has brakes and gears that work properly, which is nice for a change. Must remember to take a photo of it tomorrow! So of course, we had to go for a bike ride. We decided to explore a new section of a bike path that we used to use when we lived in the apartment. It was only 6 miles in total but nice to be on a purpose built path right in Downtown Morgan Hill.

On the way home we went to the "Cool Brews for Cool Pools" - something we'd only found out about the night before but completely forgotten about until we came across it. "Cool Brews for Cool Pools is a family festival sponsored by local businesses that brings together local breweries, wineries food and sports vendors and the community to celebrate the arrival of summer and raise money for the Morgan Hill Aquatic Foundation". The first band was one of our local favorites. I so wished I had my camera with me then but I didn't even have my iPhone. After they finished we dashed home and I got my camera and a sunhat! Back there I took pictures of the reggae band Kapakahi and the audience..

Morgan Hill Friday and Saturday

This past weekend was one of those amazingly busy Morgan Hill weekends. It all starts with the Friday night music series. Everyone sitting around with their chairs or blankets at the small outdoor amphitheater behind the Community and Cultural Center watching and/or dancing to the live band. Everything from country to R and B, Blues or Rock and Roll. I've now come to prefer this location to the old 3rd street location- it just makes so much more sense. Saturday morning I joined the Morgan Hill Photography Club for the 2nd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. 32,600 people took part in their own cities. We basically wandered through the downtown area taking lots of photos. It was very hot and I didn't find the perfect picture but it was fun all the same. My favorite pictures turned out to be the ones of people.. I still got to go to the market- my favorite Saturday morning "chore"... We then spent a couple of hours pulling my new motorbike apart and making absolut...

Corks

I started collecting wine corks a little while ago. For no particular reason. Then I decided I could make something out of them. Right now I have them in an over-sized margarita glass. They are fun to take photos of!

Travelling to Kauai

So this week, my blog entries will also be a diary of my holiday in Kauai, and a photo or two, although most of the photos will probably be on my Flickr page. We left home yesterday early from San Jose airport, which was not a pleasant experience- one word sums it up- queues! We only just made the plane and arrived at the airport over an hour and a half before the flight. The flight was on Hawaiian Air, and they too, are squeezing every penny they can, from having to pay to check any bags, to renting headsets and movie players on board. The flight was a long one; extra time for strong headwinds meant a 6 hour flight just to Honolulu. We did make the connection in time and the 30 minute flight to Kauai was so short it was laughable. It was also really windy in Kauai but it was warm and slightly humid with partly cloudy skies. Perfect. We arrived at the rental home a few hours before Joel and Stevie and found out very quickly why they love it so much here: and the view from the house was...
