Segway tour at Pacifica

[jwg]

On Monday some of the remaining motss.con attendees went on a Segway tour at Pacifica

. After initial training (some of us had done it before last year at the MPLS con) we set off, first on flat ground --


and then up and down some hills where we had nice views of the surfers among other things. I discovered I could Segway with one hand and the other holding the camera.


This is a bit more what it is really like with a few bumps.


We did see an emu on the way:


And this sign on the old railroad station:

That emu looks cross and bored, though.

I thought it looked inscrutable.

Not enough cheese sandwiches!

Ibis are weirder, though.

Considering the apparent size of the enclosure, would you blame it?

[ruth-lawrence.livejournal.com]

Indeed not.

The real telltale is the state of the soil near it.

As I might have mentioned, there are a few copies of that sign floating around; I saw one in a bar in Allston, for example.

I still have no idea what the history of the signs is.

Wow, those things really book! I was worried on each of the hairpin turns that you were going to overshoot and the video would be rather more exciting than I bargained for :}
