It's Monday morning here, Sunday afternoon back in the USA. Ralph was off for the weekend and we decided to stay local since we're going to Wellington tomorrow for 3 days. It was a very relaxing weekend. We visited a church yesterday. It was good to be with believers and we enjoyed the service, but it was not a good fit for us, nor was a different church we visited earlier.
Saturday we biked round trip the 10km long Manawatu RiverWalk Track right here in Palmerston North. It is so beautiful, with changing scenery at every bend. In the middle of our trip we stopped off for coffee at the Victoria Esplanade cafe. Victoria Esplanade is a very large city park with botanical gardens plus a lovely rose garden that looks like it will be blooming in a couple weeks. There are lots of walking paths, an aviary, fountains, a children's playground and a little kids' train that winds around the whole park. The river walk trail goes right by it.
We also discovered a farmer's market that covers a city block that runs every Saturday morning. We just followed the hoards of people right to it.
Picture of Ralph was taken in our backyard.
