Pacific Grove Respite

November 9, 2020November 10, 2020 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 5 Comments

We've had the good fortune to spend some time in Pacific Grove this fall. Way back on Labor Day 2020, when most of the San Francisco Bay area was smothered in an orange haze, we had a late lunch and walked along Asilomar Beach. It was lovely with clear skies and a slight ocean breeze. … Continue reading Pacific Grove Respite

From Berlin to Prague on Bikes

October 14, 2019October 15, 2019 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 10 Comments

We did it!  Our summer of training for longer rides paid off––we rode from Berlin to Prague and not only lived to tell the tale, but enjoyed the whole trip.  We were prepared for the rain and even riding over cobblestones was doable.  We layered up to avoid the chill and, more importantly, never had … Continue reading From Berlin to Prague on Bikes

Los Gatos to Alviso

September 14, 2019September 11, 2019 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 5 Comments

All summer we've trained for a European bike ride in the fall.  We love to find new bike paths, but our regular training ride is a lovely route too.  Sometimes it is good to appreciate what we see each week and that is what this post is about. Lucky to be able to ride so … Continue reading Los Gatos to Alviso

Ride the Salem Trails

August 11, 2019August 11, 2019 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ Leave a comment

August is the perfect time to check out the parks and bike trails of Salem, Oregon.  Spruced-up Riverfront Park is a lovely place for a family to spend an afternoon.  Ride from Wallace Marine Park on the west side of the Willamette, across the former railroad-, now a pedestrian- and bike-bridge, and you will land … Continue reading Ride the Salem Trails

Hiking and Biking in 2018

December 31, 2018December 31, 2018 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 5 Comments

I'm happy to see 2018 end.  Too much drama and disaster.  Still, I cherish good memories of our many bike rides, hikes, and walks in the past year.  Being outside always improves my spirits. In January and February, we stuck close to home. March was exciting, with wonderful hikes and activities too numerous to mention, … Continue reading Hiking and Biking in 2018

Hida Furukawa

April 10, 2018April 9, 2018 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 1 Comment

I want to go back: Hida Furukawa.  We spent only a few hours that charming little town, and this is how it happened. We're planning the Japan itinerary for March 2016 when I google “Gifu,” and see small mountain villages filled with thatched roof cottages, a major tourist attraction. What catches my eye, though, is … Continue reading Hida Furukawa

Viva Calle SJ, 2015

September 26, 2017 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ Leave a comment

For the second year in a row, we missed the Viva Calle San Jose ride, but I remember our fun ride in 2015.  This is the story I wrote then.  My husband sees the announcement in the Metro, that free weekly paper, the one with ads for phone sex.  The Metro piles up around the house … Continue reading Viva Calle SJ, 2015

Biking the Italian Alps

September 15, 2017May 30, 2019 ~ Evelyn Mitsunaga ~ 1 Comment

Cycling in the Italian Alps.  Wow.  Sounds exciting and exotic.  What bragging rights we could have!  Best of all, I see the bike tour will end on the very day my sister and her family leave Rome. We can spend time with them in Florence and Venice. First, I must convince my husband.  “Yes, of … Continue reading Biking the Italian Alps
