Japan Adventure

Stan on the seawall on base as we continue around the perimeter road. We stopped for dinner on our way home, so we probably rode well over 7 miles today. Not bad for old folks, huh? Found out recently that both of Margie's knees are completely shot -- not a big surprise -- all cartilege is gone, but it was disappointing to hear that knee replacements are my only option. What a bummer! The good news is that I can put it off as long as I can tolerate it, so I've decided to "limp along" for a while (no pun intended) and I can continue bike riding and water aerobics. I got a cortisone cocktail injection in each knee (ouch!) but now, I'm moving great & I'm on the list to receive one every 3 months when the "traveling orthopod" visits . . . so on we go!

Look at that gorgeous sky as the sun begins to set! There's still some debris on the beach over the seawall from previous typhoons.
