The Penguins Proceeded On

As the wind picked up to a steady 30 knots, I proceeded on the Mountain's Edge Loop Trail in Henderson for a solid 7-mile run. But the wind made me work harder as it was behind me going downhill and in my face going uphill.  It made for a challenging, but still scenic, workout.

"Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty."-- John Ruskin, (1819-1900)

The highlight of the day was dinner and a movie with Rosa Maria and her sister Thais visiting from Costa Rica. First I stopped at the Go Raw Veggie Cafe and picked up our dinner. Cream of Carrot & Avocado soup for RM, Almond cheese pizza with basil pesto & marinara for Thais and a big juicy beet burger for me. Then the three of us watched March of the Penguins. To satisfy the three varied viewers English only (me), Spanish only (Thais) and bilingual (RM), we watched the movie with Spanish audio and English subtitles. It worked. We all could share in the sadness and joy of the movie.
