Hhum, hhum (clearing throat for singing)

All their bags are packed, They're ready to go

We're standing here outside their door

We hate to wake them up to say goodbye.

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn

The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn

Already we're so lonesome we could cry.
Chorus:

So kiss us and smile for us

Tell us that you'll come back for us

Hold us like you'll never let us go.

They're leavin' on a jet plane

They don't know when they'll be back again
.......leavin' on a jet plane

...... don't know when they'll be back again

Which gives us extra time to enjoy this beautiful city.
Though today was overcast and sometimes raining it did not dampen the colors of the city
or it's characters.... and their various vessels.

Kudos to our captain extraordinaire, Jeff with Bon Chovy (get it? Jeff Bon Chovy??) (his site), for a great day, eh? Totally!
Even the cleaning back at the dock was entertaining for us, the crowd that gathered
and the seals that waited for scrapes.
Our bikes finally arrived (no thanks to UPS) at 5:30 pm, so now we feel a bit more relaxed. We'll take duckies and the bikes out for a test spin in the city tomorrow and start our ride Sunday morning. Hope to have more beautiful city shots for you on Saturday.]]> Sat, 15 Aug 2009 11:14:24 -0400 http://www.tourdebocrie.com/blog/VanToMex_GearingUp.html#ilc272057521 dedicated bike paths,
rivers, bays and artwork of all kinds everywhere. With less than six months to the Winter Olympics, the city is buzzing with activity and continued construction of the Olympic Village.
and people celebrating. With all the walking we did today, the duckies were ready to do a little celebrating of their own. Enough of the fun and frivolity, we've got to get on the road. Tomorrow we start our southward bound trek.
