and I never left Houston... mode of transportation, bicycle: no lost luggage, long lines or cramped seats, plenty of leg room!!!! and all it cost was about 200 calories. Not bad.

| Self-propelled transportation. Dependable, always runs on my time schedule and it is fun. |
Clear blue skies, low humidity, a gentle breeze, a need to be outside prompted this trip. It could not have been a better day for it. This Japanese Garden is inside of Hermann Park. It is free to the public. There used to be a fee. I remember going when it first opened. The plants were new, a lot of sun and not much shade back then. My, how everything has grown. It was truly like being on a vacation. I feel relaxed and invigorated all at the same time.

| Bridging the gap. A garden in the middle of a large city, impressive. |
 |
| The sound of water running over rocks is ever present. |
 |
| Meditation happens easily. |
 |
| Squirrels, too. |
Quote of the day: "In my hands, I hold a bowl of tea
I see all of nature represented in its green color
Closing my eyes, I find green mountains and pure water within my own heart
Silently drinking, I feel these become a part of me."
