Finally some time off

Jean's been here a few weeks now. We've gotten in a little riding. Nobody in Tassie rents road bikes, so she's been renting mountain bikes and cruisers and when we ride together I use the cruiser and she uses the 'cross bike with road tires - we end up about the same speed.

We've been to nature parks to see wallabies and 'roos, and wombats. Onto the beach at night to see the "little penguins" - cute little guys about a foot high. Rode out along the Tamar River - quite a beautiful rolling ride. Stopped on one ride to watch a little "footy" - may be one of the great games in the world: you can run, kick, throw, tackle, dribble - all on a field the size of Rhode Island.
