Journal entry – 17 Feb 2016, Wed – Statues in the Desert

After our morning bicycle ride we cleaned up and hopped on the motorcycle to check out the statues in the desert. Iron beasts (real, extinct, and imagined) populate the landscape. We did a quick drive-by on the way into town to refill on gas and then slowly toured through them, discovering new ones as we went. I think my favorite was the scorpion vs the cricket, but the rock crawling jeep was also good.

Tour completed, we headed back into town proper, parking and walking about the shops in the mall. Grabbed coffees from a coffee shop/bakery and sat on the porch to drink them.

Headed to the library for wifi and in preparation for the yoga class. Free class on Wednesday and Ashley wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity. I got some reading and writing done, we updated an over-due post on Facebook, etc.

Finally time to head home for supper. Still a vegetarian grill combo – foil packets of potatoes and onions over lentils. Delish!
