Dag 78: Bike Repair + Cookies

Monday, November 7, 2011: Maastricht, Netherlands

Today was a nice, relaxing day. No class. No schedule. A light drizzle out the window and clouds filling the sky. A good day to be home with nothing and everything to do. I woke up and got dressed. Then had a nice breakfast, put in some laundry and resumed my reading for class. Later in the morning I walked my bike to the nearby bike shop and repair store. On Friday morning before we left for Germany, I realized my tire was flat. I tried filling it with air, but by the time I reached the gym, it was flat again!

So I took it to the bike store today and had a new tube replaced for only 15 euro! Quite cheap. Now my bike runs smoother than before. It is quite easy for me to cycle up the hill to the University, which was much more difficult before!

I went to the gym and worked out in the afternoon and had a friend from class over in the evening to work on our presentation for tomorrow's class. We decided to combine our work with cooking and made a nice Indian supper for ourselves. We also baked some delicious Funfetti cookies, compliments of Momma Bowen, who sent the mix from the USA for me last week. The cookies were a success (even in our persnickety Dutch oven) and were super tasty, as always! A nice treat from back home :)
