Good grief, that looks steep!

Sorry to hear about the Brooks. I was probably luckier than most with mine. There was a short period of initial discomfort but mostly it's been like butter. Not literally.

What it means is, (windmills are) manufactured tremendous if you’re into this, tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything.

Dragonfruit! I’d forgotten about this plant, which we commonly saw in Taiwan. It looks like the same tree-climbing cactus we just saw in Balboa Park.

OK. This has to win the prize for strangest tree of the season. I’m pretty sure the webmaster set up awards for things like this.

Certainly looks like an unhappy place. They probably have to ride on unbroken Brooks saddles too.

I am usually the one hogging the outlets so it was funny that this time Bruce claimed that bed before I noticed the outlets. The other secret to marital bliss is that you win some, you lose some, and if not you’re doing it wrong.

I cycle faster than the speed of light so a camera wouldn’t work.

Such shocking behaviour. The secret to marital bliss is a 2 or more USB port adapter with a six feet long cable. Even in a hired car for our Thai road trips you gotta have a 2 port adapter from the cigarette lighter holder thingy

(excessive) speed camera, nothing to see.....unless it's one that will display your speed for the world to see....but you're cycling so, go for it !

Oh, it's all right. I'm stupid. I still have hope that the saddle gets broken in. It might. You also told me to get new tires for this trip and I didn't. Youth, man! However, so far the tires have not punctured.

One person in front of me at the bank withdrew a huge brick of 1000 Baht notes. I sure hope she wasn't going to use it all on lottery tickets. It must have been thousands of dollars worth of Baht. I hate the lottery. And in Thailand I'll bet anything the profits don't go for schools or to help the poor.

I think I would add one more bandanna to the lineup in the future. And have a higher neckline on each shirt.

That is quite a system .. and one that my sensitive skin and I can really respect. There were times when I just wanted something, anything to keep the sun from hitting my face, ears, and neck.

I ended up using the Da Brim and a bandana supplement for most of our trip. The Brim is super dorky looking and doesn't stay on well in wind, but for the most part provided good coverage while allowing air flow.

Here's to protected skin! Love that you have the bandana, buff, and sunhat to make it work.
