A New Day

Since mechanical problems are keeping us in Balikpapan, I decided to make the best of the situation and enjoy an early morning stroll along the beach.

Borneo's beaches are nothing special, but the burst of color as the sun lit up the sky lifted my mood.

Eric and our couchsurfing host Hippo having been working hard to get the bike situation straightened out.

And I've got time for Project 365!

@katteach Yes, you've got a point about the early A.M. cold. But trust me, cycling under the scorching 2PM sun has it's drawbacks, too.
