City Tour via my new best friend, Big Blue the Bike

So yesterday I had no set agenda, and after waking up at 1:00 in the afternoon (rough, I know), I said to myself, "Self, why don't we go explore the city."  And that is exactly what I did.  I set off from my house, with no defined destination in mind, and aboard my new best friend, Big Blue the trusty bicycle, I headed off into the unknown.  I rode through a cool park with a rose garden and a lake in the middle, went past the zoo, down to a fair in Recoleta, cruised to the downtown area, and rode through the narrow streets full of stores, shops, people, etc, and ended up going to a friends apartment where we spent the rest of the afternoon.  I had an awesome time, got to see a lot of the city, gained a stronger sense of direction in this enormous city, and saw things/places I haven't yet seen here in my busy 2 week stay.  The scary thing is, after hours of biking around, I had only scratched the surface of a small area in proportion to the rest of the city limits.
