It was a lovely Sunday ride today.   A couple of ferries and a lot of parks and countryside.   Really beautiful,  but that has become ordinary.  Most stores are closed on Sunday, so the cities are very quiet.

I did run into a festival in one town.   I am not sure of the reason,  but the food looked awesome and the people appeared to be having a good time.   Also, I watched a bit of a football game (soccer) by what looked like a bunch of old guy's (some nearly my age).

Now it is confession time.   Tonight I am staying in a Ramada Inn.   It was a good price and I wanted to make sure I had good Internet.   It has been a little spotty.   While I am at it,  I will admit that I grabbed a couple of beers at the gas station on the way into town and at this very moment am waiting for a pizza to be delivered from Joey's Pizza (since all the stores are closed).  Finally,  I  will admit that I did watch a delayed broadcast of the NBC Nightly News and binged watched a couple of episodes of a show on Netflix.

So much for an international experience,  though pizza is Italian,  right?

All is well and I am really enjoying the cycling.  I am helped be great weather and favorable winds.
