Back to hitting the bricks after a busy weekend, as the walk today was east to the Holland Energy Center.
First stop was at the corner of 6th Street and Central Avenue.

It was a cloudy day, not a “Chamber of Commerce” day in Holland.

A lengthy walk of around 6,900 steps … with the physical three days away.
Thanks
