*Yawn*Well, as Li said, we're now in Concord. It's a bit further out from the city than Brookline (T-lines have been replaced with corn fields and more trees). This means, however, that I get to drive a very powerful, very fun Subaru around to see the sights. I'm just about used to the differences and only need to be reminded to drive on the right every now and then. Li, whilst qualified to drive, is better suited to being a passenger. She can't kill anyone that way.
Today was a pleasantly relaxed day (most days are when you start them at 10:30...) and
we didn't really get around to doing anything until after a lunch of reheated Chinese food. One of my favourite parts of being in America are the takeout containers with their cute little handles. Simple pleasures and all.
Feeling like we'd been a lazy recently, we borrowed a couple of Boris' bikes (complete with goofy helmets) and pedaled down to Concord village to buy Li a scrapbook and have a drink (and, in Li's case, the biggest 'medium' ice cream cone we've ever seen). The journey there was quite pleasant and we worked up a bit of a sweat. We didn't realise how many hills we'd been coasting down until we had to ride up them on the way back!
More relaxing this evening (what? It's HOT) and we had a lovely dip in the lake. Maureen and the girls are back now and we think the whole Cownie clan is descending on Concord for the weekend so we're going to be busy =)
