This is a photo of a cup of iced coffee and a cookie on a table in a cafe. You can see a three wheeled electric bike outside, which is mine!
Iced coffee and a freshly baked cookie made for a nice afternoon break today. Also, that’s my bike outside! Photo by Author.

Being a tourist for a month can be challenging, especially in the heat. Today, I spent most of the day catching up on work (as I imagine I would have to do if I were actually a tourist for a whole month).

During an afternoon break, I rode my bike to a nearby café and had iced coffee and a cookie. The café is very near my apartment and exactly the type of place any tourist would want to have on their agenda almost daily.

I spent a little time making plans for the coming days, including looking at some recommendations I received from my chiropractor today. I am including a link to my itinerary at the bottom of this writing, but I also wanted to share this schedule I found for one of the events so that you will see why I don’t already have the entire month planned.

this is a schedule found online that has Sunday through Saturday open and listed as “sometimes open, sometimes closed.”
I am really not sure what to do with this schedule. LOL. Screenshot by Author.
