There was a mad moment last month when I contemplated the purchase of a car. But then, yikes, realized that not only would that cost me upwards of 300 bucks but also cost about 700 a year for parking. Also costs for gas, upkeep, etc.

So instead, I invested in a gorgeous little one-speed cruiser bicycle. She came in last week and I christened her Elizabeth–doesn’t she look like an Elizabeth?

Mi papi and I took a 10 mi. test ride along the Santa Ana river Saturday and she performed magnificently. I’m looking forward to zipping around campus with her.
