Zarautz

Today was a fun day. I took a run around the point of Zarautz and found this great little village by the sea. It looked like the main industry was fishing. Later in the morning Weston and I body surfed then rented a surfboard for an hour. Weston got up on the first wave. It was great fun. We drove part of the way home on a toll road. It cost 9 Euros. ($13.50) for about 50 miles. A nice road but not that nice. You would think with gas costing $6/gallon they would have enough taxes to pay for the roads, without needing tolls. I must say however as a cyclist you notice the quality of the roads. These roads are nice.

When we got back to Burgos we took advantage of the car and went grocery shopping. So far we have only been able to buy what we can carry in our small backpack, since we are on our bikes. We bought 75 Euros worth of groceries. It should last about a week.
I have to admit I like the whole getting around on bikes thing. Parking is easy, traffic is no problema and it just feels good. I wonder how long I could go in Orem without using a car?

  2. "WWAGD" - what my bracelet says.

    To answer your question Cory: 45 minutes. Unless it was Sunday and you couldn't go to the store.

    Have fun out there, we're all jealous!
