Laura and I did some grocery shopping, then lunch. Laura made a kind of mediterranean pita/hummus/meat thing. It was good. Then, Laura went to language class and I did some math.

This evening we signed up for our Sevici accounts. This bike share service has pick-up and drop-off points all over the area. We successfully tried it this evening. I have to admit it was nice to get around a bit faster than our feet can carry us:
