Tradition



Ed and I have a tradition (sort of). We rent bicycles for a day whenever and where ever we travel. It's a great way to get another perspective on a place. Rain or shine, tooling around on a bike never fails to produce an adventure.

Despite the fact that Ed is not here, and in fact isn't coming to Buenos Aires at all, the tradition continues.

I rented a bright orange cruiser bike. I rode down cobblestone streets, across huge busy highways, and out of town into the "eco park" along the river. As I anticipated, it was awesome to see the city's skyline poking up above the marsh plants.

After the bike ride, I hopped the subway to the best ice cream shop in the universe - Volta. It was the cherry on top of a treat of a day.
