pro bike for life


so yeah, i am all for cycling. and am in total support of cyclists disregarding redlights and cross walks. it's just the scooter/moped drivers that want to be all car-like with their motor and speed, but then when it suits them they think they can just rejoin the bicycle clan. i'm just saying they need to get on one side and stay.

speaking of cycling. i took EJ on quite a trip today. looking back i may have talked as if it were not a long distance at all. but about 5 miles into it i realized, maybe i was misleading.
she did great though.
i even made her go down a hill after she expressed that she didn't want to go down hills... haha. i think it was okay though. no trauma.

we visited a lot of sweet people and i think my head will explode and macedonian words will splatter all over the walls.
seriously i think this is the most i've spoken and translated and listened in one day so far... ever...
but we sat for juice with one lady then the house next door invited us to have melon with them, then the next house we had pita, tomatoes, olives, pudding, cookies and yogurt.
then the next stop was coffee, then the next house more 'juice' which was actually the soda special to here that i believe is banana runts liquified....
it was a full day of visiting and thinking and praying.

more later

I LOVE your blog!!! I think you may be right about the Gazoza. I never thought of banana runts, but now I am sure that is what it tastes like.

Loved your song at the talent show by the way. I never found you after that to tell you so, but it was awesome. Is it on your cd that Karen gave me??? Send me an email at brianandmandy@gmail.com

Grace and peace.
