Exploring!

Today was my first real settled day. I started off my walking across downtown to a bike shop called Bicyclette where I basically paid an absurd sum of money for a pump, a tube, and some gloves. I think I will go to shop call Cyco from now on. Live and learn, right?
I went out on an exploratory ride and almost got killed trying to leave the city. I learned the importance of truly tightening face-plate bolts on a stem when my handlebars rotated downwards while I was trying to come to a sudden stop. I also, biked the wrong direction on one road and forgot which direction to look at several intersections. Once I got out of town though, it was a completely different story. The harbors are absolutely gorgeous and roads area quite and full of rolling hills. Now all I need is a team to ride with.
Tomorrow orientation starts. It should be good to start getting into the swing of school.
Here are some pics of town!
