Pam tries to destroy us

Listening to:

It’s been a week since I’ve been at my new place in Athens. The week has been full of adventure. Chichi and I ride our bikes often. The scenery continues to be serene.

We needed a table so we made a makeshift stylish one out of reclaimed bricks.

The library here is pretty cool. They have cool bikes on loan. They also have an area to recharge electric cars.

I gave Chichi a haircut. He looks much brighter/clearer now.

We took a road trip to see our friend Pam who we used to know from the Shambhala mountain center. It was a three-hour ride to Pittsburgh. I didn’t see much of the scenery because I was asleep, but we did stop at a nice rest stop.

It was nice to catch up with Pam. We went on a bike ride and then camping. The scenery was lovely. My favorite part of the trip was the campfire. I was really surprised that a person can cycle just outside the city limits in the forest and go camping and start a fire. I feel like this is not so easy in Texas and probably a lot of other places. It’s such a shame to have such restraints to access to such a primordial activity. I love making fires. Pam didn’t tell us the total trip would be 40 miles. Chichi and I we’re exhausted for a day and a half after.

Athens is a quaint interesting town. It’s a college town. I like that the downtown area is pedestrianized, and actually the whole town is relatively easy to get around with on a bike. There are some quirky parts and some old cemeteries.
