A rainy day

I didn't do much yesterday at all, as it rained almost all day. I did get some photos of the mountains as the clouds were clearing out:





The thing I'm missing most is a measure of mobility. It would be really nice to be able to range a bit farther from home to investigate places to eat and things to do. It's a bit expensive eating in the center of the city, and I've heard that there's a larger variety of cuisines in some of the other suburbs. I'm thinking about buying a little scooter to run about on. Also, it would be handy for getting groceries. Even when I get my bike here, it will still be handy for commuting, because my 800-lb motorcycle will be much harder to maneuver onto curbs for parking and such.

Bike Show

I went to the motorcycle expo today at the exhibition center across the river. It wasn't as big a show as you'd see back home, but it was a good opportunity to talk to some bikers about riding down here. I got some pictures:







More pictures here. I had an issue with my little camera that I didn't fix until about halfway through my time there so a lot of the pictures I took failed to come out, so I didn't post them all.
