Walking Everywhere, and Anywhere!

Every now and then I will update this blog with thoughts about walking, and being a pedestrian in Southern California. Between 2014-2017, this blog also featured several posts about my bicycle adventures around Southern California, but as of 2018 I am back to just being a pedestrian. Riding a bike was fun until someone through a water bottle in my chain one day late at night, so since that time I have just felt safer walking.

Beautiful Trees Spotted During A Walk In The San Bernardino Mountains










During Thanksgiving I took a break from my usual walks around the city to enjoy a few strolls up in the San Bernardino Mountains.  The golden leaves of the oak trees were truly mesmerizing in late November, and got me in the mood for the commencement of the holiday season.

The Holiday Season And Walking Off The Pie

The holiday season is now upon us as we enter into November, but I have already been in a pie baking frenzy for over a month now.   A large part of this is because I have mass quantities of fruit that I want to preserve and use so that it does not go to waste, but I have also discovered that I really love making pies.  With all of these extra calories around the house, it is easy to put on pounds.  More than ever I am happy that I am a pedestrian so that I can burn off calories, and that I do not have to schedule gym sessions.

One of my favorite aspects of living in Southern California is watching the sun glimmer off the tops of palm trees, and witnessing a breath taking sunset as I am walking home around five or so.  If you are stuck in a gym on a tread mill you will never be able to appreciate those things.  Life is slower as a pedestrian, and I am thankful for this.
