今年の春はまだ靴買ってないな って思ってたのですが、良いの見つけたました。 HOKAoneoneのHOPARA 昔から夏はこのタイプの素足で履けて水陸両用気にせず履けちゃう感じのやつが大好物です。 チャリンコ通勤なので、しっかり爪先も保護してくれるタイプが良いんです。 一目惚れして即決してしまいました。 たまに問い合わせあるのですが、 うちでは取り扱っていませんので、、 #colina #hokaoneone #hopara #はきごこち抜群 #あしもと倶楽部 (Setagaya, Tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wKzQKDHzc/?igshid=r86yuwg7k0ix

It's Labor Day!
Why on earth are you reading our Tumblr today? Granted, we're inside working on our databases and other fun programming stuff this weekend (it's our mission to help you explore the world better, and we've got to have sophisticated software to make that happen), but what are you doing inside and / or staring at this on your phone? Go out and play! This is your last real long weekend before Thanksgiving, and by then, it's cold, dark and miserable out. If you're one of our international readers, sorry. We didn't mean to gloat about our long weekend, and you probably get more holidays off than we do with our Puritanical roots and all.
Of course, if you came here looking for an activity, please search away or scroll down -- today's post marks our 180th (we think) since we started (go hopara!), so chances are that we've got something on the place you're looking for. Have fun today, and enjoy the long weekend!
Our Favorite Ways to Enjoy Labor Day Parades
Tomorrow is Labor Day, which means that (if you live in the US), in pretty much every town, there's a parade. Some of the parades are good, although we have to admit it -- watching people march or sing or dance down the street doesn't do all that much for us. Maybe it's because we're snobs who live in New York and we get spoiled by the Village Halloween Parade or Mardi Gras in New Orleans, both of which are more party than parade. Or maybe it's because we rarely know the people marching in the parades, and so we're just waving at strangers. Whatever the reason, we've come up with a number of defensive strategies for when we inevitably are invited to "parties" where we watch the parade from the street.
First, there's always booze. Thankfully, we've never been invited to a parade event hosted by teetotalers. If we had... well, we don't have many of those as friends.
Second, there's the, "where's the bathroom?" Since the bathroom is always a very long walk away (and it's usually a port-a-potty), it gives us ample time to explore fields and streams that are unpopulated because everyone is watching the parade.
Third, we've got our fall back of shouting "HI! HI! OVER HERE!" at all people in the parade (when we were younger, we would also throw stuff, but that's immature). Ever seen a five to ten-person pile up? You'll see it if you shout this often enough, because someone in the parade will get confused and stop to say hi to you. Alright, this is a bit cruel, but it's still fun (as long as no one gets hurt).
Finally, fourth, gorge on hot dogs. It's the end of the summer, after all, and there are bound to be lots of dogs lying around. Because, when it's all said and done, you may as well being outside on one of the last nice, long days of the year!
That's it for today. Happy exploring!
The Great Desk Escape: Wilmington, Delaware
If you live in or around Wilmington, you know that you live there because it's got a crazy good quality of life with a very short commute to a major metropolis in Philadelphia and an equally short drive to get onto a boat and wander around Delaware Bay. Unfortunately, because Wilmington has all this cool stuff around it, it's not really set up to be exciting inside the city -- when we visit, it seems like people are always taking us to the suburbs for cool experiences. So we thought that for today's great desk escape (where we give you a few activities that will get you away from your desk for about an hour), we'd delve a bit deeper into Wilmington and see what we could find. Here goes!
Wilmington, Delaware Great Desk Escape Activity #1: Visit the Hagley
We were pretty conflicted about this one - we thought quite a bit about sending you to the DCCA (the local contemporary museum) instead, which has an excellent collection and impressive curation of shows. But, in the end, we decided that, sometimes, the best way to help you break out of your slump at work is to look to the great innovators of the past, which is what the Hadley is there for - as a leading museum of American business, you may well find the solution you need to your problem by looking a bit to the past! Plus, they have all sorts of cool events on the grounds, including an upcoming car show. Because all work and no play... you get the idea.
Wilmington, Delaware Great Desk Escape Activity #2: Go Rock Climbing in Alapocas State Park
In Wilmington, you're really, really lucky if you're a climber (or have thought about trying it) - you've got an incredible rock wall right in the middle of our favorite park in the city (heck, most people in the Rockies aren't this close to good climbing!). Yes, you need a permit, and you shouldn't go up here raw (e.g., learn to climb in a gym or at one of their camps), but it's a rush, a work-out and a great view all rolled into one! If this sounds like more work than you want to do to get your mind off the office for an hour, then go for a quick, easy hike along the Northern Delaware Greenway, which is about 2 miles long in the park (or 10 if you take the entire path and give yourself a challenge).
Wilmington, Delaware Great Desk Escape Activity #3: Geocatching the Entire State of Delaware
So, we kind of thought that this was a dumb way to spend time until we tried it. Basically, what you do while Geocatching is you get some clues to where you can find coins, and then you use a handheld GPS unit to go find these coins. Delaware has embraced this like none other, and has set up caches all over the state in pretty much every public location imaginable. Why do we like this? Simple. When we're at work and we feel like we're going in circles for no reason, it's nice to have an activity where all the running around in circles provides instant gratification. In addition, it's a fun way to meet other people. Ok, they're geocatchers, which you might think is one or two steps above a LARPer, but aren't you a geocatcher now, too?
That's it for today. Happy exploring!
