Biking

Jonathan - So I spent the weekend in the Beer Sheva - the not so lively capital of the Negev. My friends, Sarah, Or and I rented bicycles to explore the Old City. So I was a good bit nervous about riding a bike again since I don't ride one often... ever. But it ended up being SO MUCH FUN! And because the city is so dead on the weekends there wasn't much traffic so I didn't stress as much. Of course, Or tried to bike down some stairs and crashed beautifully but he didn't hurt himself so all was well. Anyway - the whole biking thing reminded me of all our fun biking adventures.
Remember riding on the back of Mom and Dad's bikes to the park. I think it was Friendship Park in Ridgeland that we used to go to. Mom would take a picnic and we would play and eat. I distinctly remember zuchinni bread on once such trip.
I also have a number of fond biking memories of the 'trails' at the top of Mossline. They are no longer there. Years ago some developer came in and built some nice condos in that spot. But I can still picture the hills and dips and ramps that someone set up back there. We used to spend HOURS up there playing around. I can't believe some of the stupid stuff we tried. We thought we were so cool.
And we still are...
I love you!
