still no art on the art trail!

The Karl Steiner Art Trail in Easton opened about a year ago. Bonnie and I walked it before it was finished. It was a little hard to follow and we guessed a lot but the signs weren't up yet. We cut them some slack.

This morning my colleague picked me up for carpool at 5:50 am and we headed to the trail. From the trailhead on 13th street to the canal towpath, it is 2.8 miles one way. Nice 5 mile+ hike if you do a round trip.  Some woods, some city. Not quiet at all on a Wednesday morning at 6:30 am. Rush hour on Route 22.

It was really humid, even at that early hour. Today's heat hadn't arrived yet.

The direction signs are up, and lots of informational signs too. But still no art—unless this gate to block off an entrance to the cemetery counts.

Who builds an art trail without art? Ironically, the Bethlehem Greenway has more art!

My colleague is joining me for Zumba tonight. Good thing. I think I would have skipped otherwise.

Update:
The official temperature reached 98 degrees that day. It was hot and humid. About 3:30, as we were driving home from work,  a storm rolled thru and the temp dropped to 73, but was still humid.

Bonnie joined me for Zumba, but my colleague didn't. She is finally off the DL for everything but ab work. Whoo hoo. I think Bonnie might come back for Zumba. We sweated a lot. Someone asked the instructor, Gladys, at 6:45, how many calories we were burning. She said about 700 calories, and we still had 15 minutes to go! (That means I burned about 100?) This week every routine was different. I was totally lost....again.
