Rewards for taking the long way

I had a doctor's appointment today and so my morning bike ride was extra long but it was so nice and cool I decided to add the little extra mile up to the next bridge on the bike path. It was totally worth it - I saw two herons and an egret! I hadn't seen any along the path for awhile, so I was quite relieved. Sixteen miles on the bike today and leftover tom kha for lunch after last night's dinner at Ta Ra Rin. All's right with the world.
