My New bike.

So Today began as a Saturday of running and running around, I tried a long run this morning and more can be read about that on the other blog (afloridianrunnerinpenang.blogspot.com). The running around we needed to do was to get a package from the main post office that we had missed delivery on, so we went via cab down to the main post, only because the later in the day that it gets the harder it is to find parking, and we ere not sure if it was the right post office that were intending on going to. Well we got it right on the post office and got Brenna's package, another one from the nanster, Brenna does love getting her care packages from home!! This one had dome clothes, some hair things, and some "flossers"...yes it is very difficult to find "flossers" in Penang. Well since we were down in Georgetown, I asked my loving bride if she would not mind stopping by the bike shop, I wanted to see what they had in stock and see if I might possibly be able to afford a decent road bike. The shop was very cool, not a great selection, but a decent selection, and they were a Trek dealer, which is what i wanted. I found a nice, lower end (price wise) no real bells and whistles, street bike, and the sales guy gave me a great deal on it, and a helmet and shoes...I just could not pass it up! Brenna and Roxanne got to pet the kitty cats that they had in the back of the store, there were a few that were very cute, one that even had the same coat as CiCi...That was perfect for Brenna as getting the bike did take some time, with the fitting adjustments and such...The one thing i never thought about as we neared the end of the sale was...how in the heck we were going to get it home?? We took a cab down, and he was not waiting for us, and there was no way that Rox could get back here tomorrow with her photo tour, and the week, was a burn. So we asked if they could deliver it and they were willing to do it...Awesome!!

So we departed the bike shop, and went into a small antique shop that was close by, It had some cool stuff in it, but I would imagine there are antique shops here that have much better. We got some lunch (pizza hut, good thing i ran this morning), and then got a cab back home. It was pretty late by that time, and we were all pretty beat from the heat. Brenna had been promised a trip to the 7th floor of the mall so she could spend some of her money on gum machine figures, and we were a bit hungry for dinner as well, so we went to "Winter Warmers" cafe, mostly just tea, but has some other food, Rox and i both got chicken and Brenna got a tuna sandwich, it was good, accept for the fact that the lime mint tea, came with little wine glasses that were rim dipped in salt...ewwwww, man it did not make the tea taste very good, so Rox and I had to wipe it off to enjoy our mint lime tea. back home and bedtime for us all a long day and Rox had to get up on Sunday morning to go on her photo tour. Until tomorrow!! goodnight!!
