Yesterday started well enough.
Dev and I got to sleep a little late and kind of moseyed through breakfast and walking the dogs. Then we decided to try a new bicycle ride out to the Oregon Zoo. The route only spans 11 and 1/2 miles, but the last 3 miles is a steady (and sometimes steep) climb. I felt like the climb up Fairview went rather well, but Dev wants to try going out along Sherwood next time. We arrived at the zoo with only a little rain and wandered through the primate house. The chimpanzees seems to like hanging out inside to avoid the looming clouds, but the rest of the gang seemed pretty evenly split between outside and in. After some coffee and strolling around, we climbed back onto the bicycles and rode the long downhill home (which, of course, is the best part of a long climb - screaming downhill back the way you came!) We rolled back into the house at about 2 P.M.
Or, at least, we thought it was 2 P.M.
We then proceeded to immediately move in high gear because we had forgotten to change the clocks in the house for Daylight Saving Time. We made it to our afternoon ballroom dance lesson at Ballroom Parkrose on time and learned a really fun part of the Rhumba. And we got to see at least two of our classmates roll in almost an hour late. Like we almost did.
