Today, it’s raining 
But yesterday was sunny and warm and gorgeous, so we took advantage of it by going for a bike ride. This was the first time I’d been back on a bike since I broke my wrist at the end of June, and it still hurts to put too much pressure on it, so we ended up going on a leisurely ride exploring our neighborhood. There were no jerseys, padded bike shorts or screams of “keep the pace!” involved (like our usual rides). Instead, we meandered around and took some pictures of the prettier sights that are so close to our new home.
Some views of the city and Elliot Bay from Kerry Park:
Betty Bowen Viewpoint:
Also, Queen Anne is famous for having some of the most beautiful houses in Seattle. Just on this short ride, we pass everything from tiny Craftsman-style bungalows to sprawling Victorian mansions to ultra-modern loft-style homes. We took pictures of some of our favorites- you know, just in case we win the lottery:
These super modern examples jumped out at us right away:
This one was more classic than what we usually like, but we both decided that this was our favorite house of the day:
You can’t see it in the picture, but this house had the most breathtaking view of Elliot Bay.

Nice! looks like a pretty neighborhood. Make Mike post some stuff about how he’s subverting the enemy culture. Hows the job?
