Nine blocks stretch between Sister Judi Tarozzi's home and the YWCA in York.

If she drove her car, the nearly mile-long trek would take about three minutes.

But she chooses a different mode of transportation her motorized wheelchair. Its top speed is about 6 mph.

And on Monday or Thursday mornings, she spends about 20 minutes cruising along East Market Street to get to a water aerobics class.

The journey and the class bring the nun of 48 years a lot of joy.

"I've always loved being outside," Tarozzi said. "I really enjoy the 20 minutes of waving to people."
