Oh what a day!

Today started out like many Saturdays.  Got up, ate some breakfast, took a shower, all the usual. Then Carsten and I decided to ride our bikes to the City Centre to walk around and go to the Farmer's Market that takes place everyday.  I love this market since all the food is so fresh and it supports the area farmers, which in this region seems to be a lot.  Anyway, we bought some lettuce, radishes, parsley and some homemade honey.  We also did some shopping in the City Centre, including buying the books for the next level of my schooling.  The thinking behind this is that I can work ahead and occupy my time more while looking for a job and going to class.  We spent about 4 hours there shopping and walking around and then headed back to the apartment.  The round trip s roughly 9 km by bike.  After a quick stop at home we decided to go for a little bike ride.  Carsten had bought a map at the store where we bought my school books and so off we headed.  The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold.  We rode for about 3.5 hours and approximately 35-40 km.  Back at home we rested a bit, ate some dinner and then I called a couple people.  Carsten was itching to go dancing and though I would much rather have stayed home and watched a movie, I didn't seem to have much say in this decision.  So, we got ready and rode our bikes back to the City Centre (another 9 km round-trip).  I found the location to be small, pretentious and way too hot (temperature wise).  The music was really not to my liking.  I danced to one song and then they only played about 2 minutes worth of the song before it was mixed into some other song that I have never heard of.  As always, to hear the song that first got me out on the dance floor, click here.  Carsten saw a couple of his friends and even ran into a co-worker.  We finally made it home around 3:30am.  In the end, I think the whole night was a waste of time and money, but isn't that really what a lot of life is about?!?
