I now have transportation here in Saipan!! I got a new….bike!!!!:)
I have never been more excited about a purchase. You see, up to this point, I have been able to catch rides with the other teachers, but the longer we are here the more people get into their routines and it gets harder and harder to find rides for little things-like getting my hair cut. So I finally found a bike. I have been looking for one for awhile and I heard that a local store had them. The guy gave me a $50 discount and it ended up being $150. I felt that was a pretty decent price for a bike on a small island where other things can sometimes run astronomically expensive.
I rode to my friend Amanda’s Sunday for breakfast, got my hair cut, and rode 6 miles yesterday!! Also, I have somehow managed to injure my knee and getting a bike is just the break from running it probably needs. (I am not one to usually rest for injuries) So needless to say I love having a bike!!
