Biking at Harbourfront

Lindsay & I have booked 2 Fat Tire Tours in Paris - 1 for Monet's Gardens and the other for Versailles.  Since we haven't been on bikes, in like forever -- we decided we better do some bike conditioning.  It's started with renting Bixi bikes, which we did this morning.  I have to report we biked along Harbourfront East, went to Sugar Beach and then back toward Cherry Beach.  All without incident and we could actual walk after our ride!  I am also concentrating on doing at least 10,000 steps each day so that I can manage all the walking that Paris requires.

Back to the Paris plans, we received confirmation from our Paris Greeter, Christophe who will meet Lindsay & I with his family, including young 4 yrs old Lucas to give us an in-depth tour of Marais on May 6th for a couple of hours.  We are really looking forward to learning so much about our "home away from home" and this volunteer organization seemed to work for us.  After the tour, you can make a donation and we also plan to share some Canadian children's books with Lucas.

I'll keep this short today, just wanted to share our biking experience.  I'd recommend this way of renting bikes at a reasonable cost.  And I am still in the learning mode on blogging and using the camera.  I will have lots of learning experiences and I hope you can enjoy them with me.
