This morning we participated in the Wachovia Securities canalWALK and were pretty pleased that the route was completely different from other walks that start at Brown’s Island.
At the start of the walk, the better-half and I looked at each other and put it into high gear because there’s always at least one doofus in the crowd who stops dead in his tracks, makes stupid, nattering comments and then has to sing along to whatever “pep” music the organizers play at the beginning of the walk. We left that nimrod in the dust.
There was a guy from the Science Museum riding a Segway and that Segway went over cobblestone streets, through gravel and large potholes with ease. I had never seen one up close and I have to say it was pretty cool. Although I don’t really see the every day use for one.
The walk was really well run and all participants got plastic bucks to spend at vendors. We ate mini carnitas from Chipotle and scored two free burritos for the next time we’re in the store. Sweet.
