Biking 101



Back at work and had a pretty good day. I finally got my bike today… and let me tell you… it’s a comedy to watch me ride that thing. The seat is rock hard so it’s definitely painful to ride all day, and I am too small for the bike. It’s on the smallest adjustments and I still can’t reach the ground when I have to stop and I can barely reach the handle bars and breaks! On top of that, the pedal bar is bent so every time I pedal it hits the bar that attaches to the back wheel and I feel like I am going to fall over and my bike will decided to slip and change gears on me! It is going to be an interesting next few weeks on that thing but I am determined to be a master at it!
I also was able to get a good workout in today on my spilt, get lunch, and get a small nap! Work was pretty normal, nothing too cool happened. I am still having problems with a lot of the kids listening and respecting me because I am new but that will pass in time.
The best part of my day though was definitely when I found a new grocery store. It’s a quick two minute bike ride from work and it has everything! It has almonds, cheese, instant coffee, and everything I have wanted to get and was going to have someone go to the commissary for me. I also saw some good looking ice cream and sweets (I may just have to splurge haha). So tomorrow after work Anneke and I are going to go back with our empty water bottles (to get money back on them) and get some food/ snacks!
I also have my trains booked for Belgium, Paris, and Amsterdam. Now it is just a matter of finding hostels. Then all we have to book is Switzerland and then Prague or Munich again (to go to Dachau and the castle). Everything is finally coming together and I am getting a routine down!
That’s all for today =)
