The best things in life are...free.....almost

Went biking with my boys in Monterey,
chose to wear this, to associate my time with my kids, down the road, it will make memories much better.
I guess thats what our Rolexes are for, to help cherish memories
One of them said< " Daddy, why dont you take a pic of your Rolex"?
well, happy to oblige

Hi yannis
Just rented from a nearby bike shop, nothing fancy, you know me.
2 wheels and a pedals, standard bike, for 2.5 hours, costs me $66.00 for me and my boys...expensive!
Johnny Rockets burgers were amazing though..:)

so I take it you went to CSU Monterey ?

I actually wanted to go to Big Sur but Hwy 1 was closed south, part of that big storm few days ago.

I was not doing my main degree in Cali, i visited as i got a chance to participate in a program in Stanford. I was a student in the UK and Stanford run a summer program so when i got admitted i grabbed the chance to travel to the US. I planned to stay longer and travel around the state (from San Fran to San Diego by car). Stayed all over: Palo Alto, L.A., Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, San Diego.
Monterey really struck me though, really nice place, i loved it (both the scenery and the people). California has a similar climate to the Mediterranean so i particularly enjoyed it in the summer when i visited.

Nice pic. I enjoy going on rides with my girls. Your scenery is much better than what I've got here in the barren desert.
