Exciting thing about today: MY NEW BIKE!
Here she is, in the "cave" (locked storage shed) behind our apartment!
I am so excited to have wheels to ride around town! It'll be lots easier to get down to the beach now (normally about an hour on foot, or 20 mins bus + waiting time).
All I need now is a helmet, bike lock, and lights.
I found her on France's "craigslist" (leboncoin) and the couple that was selling her (50euros) drove her over from Toulon and dropped her off for me! (Which is great cuz the buses here don't have bike racks so it would've been nearly impossible to get it here.)
The most exciting part is having a bike is a tick mark on the "goals for France" list (which doesn't literally exist)...but I wanted to get a bike this year (didn't have one last time) and it feels great to follow through with that!
Now hopefully the other assistants will find bikes too so we can cruise around together!
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Way to go, Tina! I'm so excited for your bike! It sounds like you beach hike was fun and that picture with you in the tree is awesome.
