FAREWELL RECUMBENT BIKES

Hello new semi-recumbent bikes.  These bikes, by Giant, are light and easy to ride.  They have a comfortable upright seating position and handlebars that meet you halfway.

Below is a good view of the back basket, and I also have a nice front basket.  Where we live in the winter in Florida is ideal for biking.  I bike to the library, grocery store, doctors, rides to Sanibel Island and Ft. Myers Beach, and much more.  It is great exercise and fun to be outside.

These are the recumbent bikes we enjoyed for so long.  Bikes that never caused any pain anywhere.  It was a hard decision to change, but we opted for a compromise between such a long wheel based bike and one that would be easier to transport.  In Michigan where this picture was taken, there are wonderful bike paths, but we need to truck our bikes to these paths where in Florida, we take off  from our home for the majority of our rides.  

Thanks to E-Bay, this was another one of our sales where we posted the bikes before going to bed and when we got up in the morning, they were already sold.  How nice!

THANKSGIVING WITH FAMILY

We are fortunate to be able to share Thanksgiving with Walter's brother's family--on the left is Walter's brother, Ivan; niece, Bernadette; sister-in-law, Tinina, and nephew, Anthony.  Tinina is a great cook and really goes all out for this Thanksgiving feast.

DELNOR WIGGINS BEACH

Delnor Wiggins Beach is on the north end of Naples and has beautiful white sand beaches as you can see and   has so much beach that it never feels crowded.

A view of nearby buildings between Naples Park and Bonita Beach.  It is easy to forget that there is a very large populated area just a few miles away from this pristine beach.

OLD NAPLES

The streets of Naples, Florida are so beautiful with flowers, flowering bushes, and flowering trees.  It's one of the places the comfortably wealthy (look at that parked Ferrari) like to spend their winters.  Just a short walk from here, are the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico that border the town.

Taking a break at one of the many lovely statues and water fountains.

Upscale restaurants are here and there among the many interesting boutiques.  Every street seems to have a beauty of its own.  It may be hard to tell, but if you look up at the decorations here, you will realize this is what Christmas looks like in tropical Naples.

WUBIE WALK IN MIAMI RV PARK

Out for a walk.  Who is there?  Maybe someone who will pet me?  

PS: It's a little warm here in Miami - pant, pant.

Wait until they see how well I climb trees then they'll really want to pet me.
