Sunrise view, flip flops and blisters

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see. ~John Burroughs



Had I realized I was going to spend the whole day working in the yard today, I probably wouldn't have went for my morning walk.   However, if I hadn't went for a walk I would have missed out on a beautiful sunrise view of the Capitol in Jefferson City.  
 
For the first time today, I went for a walk across the Missouri River Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge.  It was a very enjoyable walk.  I parked at the river access in North Jefferson City and walked my way up the ramp to the pedestrian bridge.  I stopped a couple of times to snap a few photos of the Missouri State Capitol as the sun was rising.  It was well worth the pain.
 
Pain? Yes, pain.  I walked up the ramp, across the bridge and down the street to Rotary Park in flip flops.  I thought my tennis shoes were in the trunk of my car when I left the house. To my surprise the shoes were not in the trunk.  I had considered aborting my stroll across the river but thought surely I can make the trip in flip flops.  I accomplished my goal for the morning and did walk the bridge in flip flops.  Although I might have walked across the bridge a little too fast in the flip flops.
 
Combined with the work we did in the yard today, my feet are throbbing and I can barely walk across the floor.  Hilarious.  When will I realize I'm 41, not 14!
