I'd like to start off by saying Happy Birthday to my lovely sister Jenner. I hope you spend the day doing just what you want to make you happy.

Bike riding is what made me happy today. The low point was when I crossed Cuiehua, the street where I had my accident. It was pretty terrifying and once we reached the other side I had to stop for a second and catch my breath, but then I was fine. There was very little traffic this morning, which was nice, but it was busy this afternoon and I was still okay. Lee and I are going to try a few strategies to overcome the Cuiehua Road issue. It's an unusual road in that it's pretty busy plus the traffic can build up some speed. At the moment I'd like to avoid it if I can. Unfortunately, it's the road the school is on so I can't avoid it altogether. I'm sure it'll get easier with time.

Now that I'm back on the bike shopping for fruit just got easier. We stopped at the new market on the way home and restocked. Mangoes are back in season - yippee. In addition to the ones I'm used to seeing there are little ones the size of the palm of my hand as well as these huge ones:

Lychee season has just begun so I finally had a chance to try one fresh, not in a can or flavoring in a martini. Delicious!
We also brought home bananas, watermelon and pineapple. An excellent haul.
