Bikes, and Other Loves.

We rode our bikes to a pool on the lovely Margaret Island, which is in
the middle of the Danube between Buda and Pest. It was such a nice
day, lazy-- but also brim-filled with many things I adore in life. I
love bikes, parks, gardens, swimming, markets, and food and drink.
This is so constant about me-- but I have been shocked to realize it
so fully on this trip. I think of myself as a whirling dervish of
interests, changing my passions every few years-- but these things
have remained lifelong loves, and I have lived enough life now that
this statement actually means something. I gave myself a little gift,
and decided to let the rest of my travels be governed by these loves.
I can spare myself the obligatory "sights" of the places I visit- from
here on out it is bikes, swimming, flowers and grass, books, picky
belabored-decision style shopping, and yummy food and drink. I might
throw in some architechture, and modern art as well.
