I'm back. Back online and back in Oz. And I'm feeling very lucky, considering I flew with the big "spirit of Oz" kangaroo and could be sitting in Heathrow or Hong Kong for the next couple of days had my timing be slightly different.
And before you ask: Yes, the Canyon made it, too.
Apologies for the long silence. Dad's computer decided to die while I was over there, which was a blessing in disguise because it gave me the opportunity to catapult my parents into the 21st century with a new PC and faster internet connection. It also meant a few days of complete lack of interconnectivity. A blissful state to be in sometimes (especially when on holidays) because it made space for increased interpersonal connectivity and long walks in the park and more time for cake and ice cream.
Which brings me to my next apology. I hereby wish to make up for my unpardonable oversight of only posting photos of bikes and bergs and neglecting to show the cakes. So here they are, the reasons that lead to today's ride with my friend John, who also recently returned from an overseas holiday, being named the "Two Fatties' Ride". Dee, Anke, Kate... Enjoy!

Nice photos, nice cakes!
I might need to join you guys on the 2FRides... although yesterday´s ride had a 216 TSS, and 1650m of climbing.
I can´t wait to see you... and the Canyon.
Love from Rio
AMR - You will need to step on the scales... three kilo minimum gain is required in order to qualify for the ride. :) With those 216 TSS rides you have to eat a lot more Goiabada and Pasteis de Camarao. See you soon!
I figure Germany is for eating, I love the food. Those cakes look fantastic, and lets face it, it pleases your family to buy you one more. It is good to go back to the 'old country', and it is no time to diet. My family was amazed how much I could eat while I was in Nova Scotia, but I am working it all off in the summer heat! Thanks for the update!
Yum, Yum, Yum!
Dee - You are absolutely right and rest assured that these photos show only a fraction of the amount of ice cream and cake I ate. In fact, my dad often suggested to share one Eisbecher in an attempt to talk me into eating and was surprised when I insisted on having one all to myself! LOL
Anke - Miss my afternoon coffee and cake... :)
...good lord, girl...i do believe i've lapsed into a diabetic coma just from looking at fotos of all those sweets...
...good thing summer is coming to oz & you can sweat all those empty calories outta your system, ya ???...
...but if you had a nice time with 'mutter & vater', that's what counts...
