Drive to Base and a Long Walk
Topic: Harrogate
This morning it was really rainy and windy and icky. I had an appointment, then drove to MHS. I am very pleased to report I got there just fine, without mishap or missed turns! However, when I went to check my mail, I could not get my box open, and had to get help. A very nice lady kindly showed me the trick to dialing in the combination correctly. In my defense, the way you open it is really different from the way we opened our box in Germany!
In the afternoon, the sun came out (the wind stayed). I took Ryan in his stroller for quite a walk. Ryan really enjoys going for walks, and especially enjoyed the wind on his face. He was "talking" happily and bouncing up and down. He was master and commander of his stroller, gripping the front tray like a helm. We started off our walk towards The Stray.It was beautiful out, and the wind felt quite refreshing. From there we walked to the Victoria Shopping Center. I'm not sure how far it was, but it was quite a ways. I somehow wound up at Starbucks. *grin* It had been at least four or five days since my last infusion!
In and around the Victoria Shopping Center and the Montpellier Quarter, there's something called the "Floral Trail." I haven't been able to find any specific information on it yet, but I will keep looking. There are white roses painted on the sidewalk marking the path. Apparently Harrogate is known internationally for it's flowers. There's a huge fall festival which unfortunately I'm going to miss (it's the weekend Ryan and I are going to Germany for his birthday). Hopefully we'll get to see it next year.
