My read for the bike trip is called “As I Saw It” by Laura Schriner. She is someone I used to work with. It's about growing up with her blind parents, and it's a pretty amazing book.
It's about 9 PM as I write this, warm and balmy and the sun is just setting.
Today I took a tour of the city in a double-decker bus, with knowledgeable and entertaining tour guides, similar to the “trolley tours” we have in San Diego. Very interesting, with history of the city and information about the historical buildings. I learned that senior citizens can use buses and the light rail system for free.
I also learned that the hill above where I am staying has lots of stairs that go up to the houses is at the top. After the tour I found one that had been tiled with a picture, and I climbed it to the top. A lot of college students live up there because the rents are a little less expensive.
Here are photos of the stairs with the tiled picture, and also photos from halfway up and from the top.
