One of the reasons I selected my new apartment is that the complex borders the river and city arboretum. I like the idea of having elements of city and country close by. The other day I explored the trails near where I live and encountered a kayaker on the river. He appeared peaceful, gliding with ease. For a second I had the thought, “I need a kayak” before remembering I could just rent one nearby.

Today while browsing online I came across a travel group in the Pacific Northwest that offers Moon Light Tours via kayak. I can think of nothing more beautiful. Maybe I should start practicing my kayaking here before taking on such a task?
