This morning as the bus pulled up to the Courthouse and I fumbled to put my book away (the book I was so engrossed with I hadn't noticed we were nearly at the stop to begin with!), a thought occurred to me: wouldn't it be nice to just ride the bus all day long and read a book or take photos or just take in the scenery?
Yes, I think it would. I even have it all planned out (though I have no idea if the bus schedule would even accommodate it, but I'm just dreaming here, right?):
Morning: Ride the bus into SLO, have coffee at favourite coffee/tea shop. Sit and read, or go window shopping, or take interesting and lovely pictures.
Early afternoon: Ride to Morro Bay for a nice lunch overlooking the bay. Sit in the park watching the people play giant chess, read, take pictures.
Mid- to Late-Afternoon: Ride to Paso Robles, sit in wine bar sipping vino and reading, then take a walk through the park. Maybe sit on a bench and read some more.
Early evening: Ride home. Hopefully the book will be finished by then, and I can just pick up something light for dinner and head home.
It sounds so relaxing and wonderful and adventurous and fun! I might just have to do that some time.
