The E-bike tour

There was a highly rated E-bike tour of the city and we were not exactly sure what an E-bike was, but we gave it a try.  What a wonderful experience.  The E-bikes are a battery assisted bike that allows you to cover much more area than you normally would, especially up hill.  We felt a little guilty that the tour was not as much exercise as you would get from a traditional bike tour, but given all the hills, it would not have been possible to cover all the ground we did.

We were amazed by how much power they had.  On flat ground, they will go over 20 miles per hour.  Up hill, you need to peddle some (like you were on flat ground), but the rest is done by the bike.  This did allow us to get to some awesome views.  We made up for the exercise by walking 6 miles on the Promenade when we got back.

E-bikes, very small battery back, but lots of power

Allen's yacht was there.  Most were valued at near $50 million
