Oh the joys of navigating a new place!! I'm not good at my old places so, this is an extra challenge! Being on two wheels gives opportunity to arrive faster and also get lost faster. Today (I'm still not sure what happened) I found myself (I believe) on the FREEWAY!! On my bike!! Not cool! It didn't last long before I managed to get off but I saw signs for 80 speed limit and was really feeling bad about my day! (I guess as I look it up it's not actually all that fast after the conversion but my mind doesn't think in kilometers yet so it was still unsettling.)
I find it an amazing thing about being new in a place alone- how many times in my day I can cycle thru the ups and downs! The mind is a battlefield that's for sure. Cuz I do one small thing stupid (like still have my shoes on my feet as I use my last two two-dollar-coins for the locker key before my surf) and all of sudden the whole thing seems like a lost cause or something dramatic. But then being out in the water I felt for sure this is love. Yet after that I has to get back on my bike to do more wrong turns and discover the whole route is uphill!!!.... This is definitely an opportunity for growth- God help me!!
