Everything is going good here for the most part. I've had an interesting first week. Let's see here.... I had 5 flats in 5 days, I crashed my bike which ended up being a miracle and I had a un-opened pop can thrown at me from a car! Detroit seems pretty interesting thus far.
There are some pretty sweet people here and the same for the opposite. The weather is taking a toll on me, but I guess it does that to everyone. Elder Hunt is awesome, but I'm kinda stressing out because I know he'll be leaving (cuz he's going home in a month) and this place is confusing! He is super focused for the most part!
The flats have been a test of patience, both for me and for Elder Hunt! I'm just going to shorten the bike wreck story down. After the last flat I fixed, we headed to an appointment because we were late, and we were riding up on 6-mile (a super-busy street) from a side street and I tried for the brakes - and all of a sudden, I was on the ground after I hit this weird concrete divide. Well I got up, checked my bloodied elbow and my ripped pants, and then looked at my bike.... neither my front OR back brakes were hooked up. We were in such a hurry to get to that appointment that we forgot to hook the brakes up. If I wouldn't have crashed, I would have rolled out into 6 mile with no brakes and would have for sure got hit by a car. I crashed only 20 feet from the intersection. So... I am definitely counting that in my miracle book, because there is no way that that is an accident!!
But everything else is good! It's been waaaaaay hot, but it's all good. I've been drinking about a gallon and a half of water a day to stay hydrated!
Stay safe and stay cool!
Peace out ~
