Today's quote and a new page

Who has never gone through tough times, faced the unexpected and questioned whether a brighter day will come along? Well, if you're in a rut, try to remember today's quote from Dolly Parton:

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

Alex and I are fortunate to have our fair share of sunshine. And although we did not catch any rainbows, we did enjoy some beautiful views of San Diego during a cruise in September 2007.

When visiting a new place, we really enjoy discovering it either by foot or by bike. This time we found a really inexpensive bike rental place just across from the cruise teminal, and in spite of threatening rain, we set out on a beautiful bike route that took us up to Cabrillo Point. We spent several hours enjoying the views on the way, and up at the Cabrillo monument. Even the weather turned in our favor, and the clouds parted by the time we made it to destination.

I created this page for last week's challenge on Scrapwhispers. You can visit their blog at http://www.scrapwhispers.blogspot.com/ and check out their weekly challenges, guest designers and gallery. I really enjoy their challenges. They are varied, fun and you always receive comments on your entries.

Until tommorrow...
