Back from California, Walx, German Fourth

Well, I returned from California just about a week ago. I had an awesome trip. Just awesome:)

My sister's new website recently went up. Her life's been pretty crazy lately, especially when you realize that she recently had 16 grandkids! (And over 30 more are on the way in the next two months!) I don't remember the link to pictures of her baby bearded dragons, but I'll post it when I get it. (Congratulations to the parents, Turtle and Matte!)

I got 6 walks in last week, including some of my walking around Mountain View. For most of my time there, I didn't get my walks in... but it would have been much easier to get them there. Here it's simply too humid out during the day to walk anywhere. My body hates me everytime I step outside between the hours of 10am and 7pm.

Up until today, I had gotten 3 walks in this week. Then I walked like crazy today. Here's the gmap pedometer for my traveling today: crazy walking!

Wow, over 11 miles! What the junk was I doing?

Well, over the past month, I've gotten REALLY into the World Cup. Anyone can tell you that Germany's my team. Today I planned to go the Goethe Institut to watch the game. However, I have no Deutsches Fussballbund apparel, so I decided to swing by the Adidas store in Harvard Square. I'm an idiot, though: they're closed on the fourth, obviously!

Then I walked (an indirect route) to the Goethe Institute. I wanted to swing by my office, but by the time I got nearby, I didn't have time any longer. So, my path to the back bay is really convoluted. Especially considering I could have gone straight from my apartment!

Afterwards, I went to my office for a few minutes, then went over to Tommy Doyle's Pub at One Kendall Square for stammtisch. I just don't go often enough... it's so much fun, and I need to keep practicing my german! We left in time to catch the fireworks from the Harvard Bridge (Mass Ave). After that, I led members of our german-speaking contingent back to Central Square, then walked my usual route home.

Whew! Eleven miles! Crazytalk!:-P
