Open Road

While we're new and learning, everything seems a little complicated. For example, this morning, we are going to go pick up our bikes.  We shipped them from Orlando, and they've been reassembled at the Open Road Bike Shop (isn't that an awesome name?). We need to take the bus there, as our rental cars don't have space for bringing them back ... but we don't yet have a bus pass ... so we need to go to Ralph's to buy bus/metro passes ... but that's a three-mile walk ... you get the idea. (And where we're going to keep the bikes is a whole other challenge. Who needs a dining room?)

Thank goodness, Matt likes a challenge and LOVES public transportation. One of our goals is to use our cars as little as possible, so having our bikes and bus passes will be fantastic.

Next up? The Los Angeles Farmer's Market! We're thinking plants and ice cream. What else could we possibly need?
