Bread

So I went to this bread making class at Il Fornaio on Saturday with Gabriela. It was fun. The classes I really want to take are at the beginning of the year, pizza, sauces, and fresh pasta! So, I need to be watchful and get signed up next year. Basically there is a class a month on the second Saturday. The ones that interest me the most I missed were: January - pizza, March - sauces, and May - fresh pasta. Out of the ones coming up, I may do soup, but I really want to do the ones mentioned above.

Random Walking Photos

When I am walking, I see all kinds of neat things. I don't always have my phone, but yesterday I was able to snap these two pictures.

I am a fan of weeds and wild flowers. When I was a child, I used to love these and the smaller version. Fun to blow or take apart and watch it blow in the wind.

I came across this family of geese eating. Notice T91 in the background. Industry and wild life co-existing.

Getting Healthy

Here are some pictures of me from my trip. I feel really good. Diet, excercise, getting enough sleep, drinking mostly water.

Puerta Vallarta

The week of Memorial Day I took a quick 40^th birthday trip with Romanita to Puerta Vallarta.

It was a novel vacation for me. Most vacations find me running to see this castle, museum, or church. This vacation found me working out three of the days, walking every day, and enjoying the beach. I think it would be great to take two vacations: one like my normal, see these places in history mania and one just relaxing on the beach doing nothing. Of course, I don’t like being hot so it could just be going somewhere low key.

Monday was travel day. Once we arrived at the resort, we got settled, ate, and walked around the grounds some.

On Tuesday, I walked around the grounds again while Romanita was on a work call. We then went to the beach and relaxed. I managed to get 30 minutes of core workout in.

Wednesday I did 30 minutes of core and walked for an hour while Nita was on a work call. We went downtown and had a nice dinner at a placed called Casa Isabella, which had great views. We were going to catch the bus, but we met a nice couple from Missouri and ended up splitting a cab. They gave us some pointers on places to eat and what to do. After we returned, I was skimming through my pictures, and they jogged my memory of the day I spent there during my 9-11, near death experience, cruise.

Thursday I did 30 minutes of core, 30 minutes on the bike, and an hour walk while Nita went to a presentation. I then went to the beach and read and did an email exchange with Deidre.

Friday was low key with some walking and then hanging out.

Saturday was spent getting ready to go home, but I did get some walking in.

The weather was around 90, and we had some rain and thundershowers. The first few days that was mainly at night.
