The hilly countryside is great for looking at, not for biking up.
Nathanael had work today, so I was on my own. I woke up and rented a bicycle on base and rode out along the wheat fields and cows and it was awesome. Except that the hills get kinda tiring. Rode into Speicher. Stopped for coffee and a cinnamon raisin pastry. Then walked around the town. Went to Edeka and bought a water. Walked some more. Found a thrift store and bought a cool bag. Got some yogurt and pistachio gelato. My new motto is: Eat Gelato before it Eats You! Rode back to the base.
I'm really starting to like kilometers. You feel so much more accomplished when you say "I rode my bike 25 kilometers today".
Got to the base and decided to go the library because I had another three hours to kill before Nathanael got off work. The library was really lame. The only good book I could find was Catcher in the Rye, so I decided to reread it. Boy, that book is swell! Holden Caulfield is a wizard!
Then I got hungry so I walked over to the commissary. Got a roast beef and swiss sandwich for real cheap. And an orange. Both of which were delicious. A good orange is juicy, sweet, and easy to peel. And this orange certainly was all three.
After Nathanael got off work we went to Cadence House, which is a ministry some American civilians run off base. It's pretty much just a church that they hold at their huge house. They were nice, the thing was just okay.
I'm getting tired of Air Force people staring at me everywhere I go.
And I've had Discoteque stuck in my head all day for some reason.
