A Long Walk

We had Jan 1 and 2 off from work.  On Jan 1, most of the stores were closed.
On Jan 2, I walked 3.5 miles to an outdoor mall area.  That was a long walk just to check out a sporting goods store for clothes.  I did find some cool "fitover" sunglasses.  They fit over prescription glasses and don't look horrible.  I will likely buy some but I haven't yet.
I had lunch, and walked the 3.5 miles back.  At least I am getting a lot more natural exercise than I ever have.  I am appreciating the stories mom & dad told about walking to/from school but at least I don't have to endure the walk in a Wisconsin winter.

I took this picture walking over a bridge probably 2+ miles into the walk:


The lump in the distance is Mount Maunganui.  Yes, "the mount" that I have taken pictures at the top of.  Doesn't look so big now, does it?   It's just that i was probably about 5 miles away.

On my way, I also saw something that will look very familiar to folks back home.


Yup, looks like a little old Ford tractor.  It was not a Ford, or at least not branded as such here.
