Tuesday 25 Jan - Our walk into town

On Tuesday we decided to walk from Peter and Bryan's into town!  We had been planning to walk in along the river, as there is a lovely walk way just for that purpose.  It's a bit of a walk into town, so we got started early.

We had also had quite a bit of rain the previous weekend, and the river was really running high, so we weren't able to start out on the river path, but caught it a bit further along the way.  It was a sightly cool and cloudy day - perfect for walking!

We walked along the river when we could, then headed back up to the neighborhoods when our walking path went under water!  It took us nearly two hours to make the walk, and then we took the bus back!

We all felt very righteous about the tremendous amount of exercise we had, and celebrated by going to the movies in the afternoon, to see The Kings Speech, which was absolutely fabulous!  We all highly recommend it!
