my poor tattoos...



So, as some of you might remember from last year (my maiden voyage to Japan), I was told to cover my tattoos if I wanted to work out..because "if you have them, which a woman should not, they should be covered". Ahh the drama, you probably thought..does Ren ever do anything normal?

Check the photo..yeah..that part where it says "no tattoos"? This is the flyer I got for the local gym so I could join. I was ALL about it - a swimming pool, free weights..the whole bit! and I got home, started doing the math - then read the damn fine print...NO TATTOOS....oy. I thought I could swing the free weights - just wear longer sleeved short sleeve shirts.. but swimming? nahhh..the little prince waves at everyone when I am swimming.. - scratch the healthclub idea.. .

And in other news - Sean and I will head to Beijing for a weekend while he is in town. Sean was my escort to Morocco. For some reason, I enjoy going to countries where I need a male escort - and some how I have to pull a visa off....hmmmmm

I am off to Hakone tomorrow - its 200K round trip and through some hills. The goal is a round trip ride..I will settle for an overnight.

Good LUCK to everyone at Sea Otter!
Ciao!

Ugh that is a real shame - can't you wear a top with sleeves or a kimono when you swim :)

You will have to stop over at the French Riviera to balance out things on the way back!
