Clumsy Clara

As I said before, an accident was bound to happen. I didn't realize it would happen quite this soon...at the end of the day today, we took a bike ride through the neighborhood and out all the way to the lake near their house. I haven't ridden a bike in a long time, but I had the hang of it and everything was going smoothly. Until I hit that sheet of black ice and tried to slow down for the woman walking her dog. I flew off the bike and landed with a perfect ten (as in ten fingers on the ground and my knees buckled beneath me.) My pride/ego feel more bruised than anything else, but I am definitely blaming it on the conditions rather than the driver. I'll keep you all posted about the accidents that are sure to come. I nearly hit a car (that's right, the car didn't almost hit me), but I was able to skim past as I veered off course. In the past few days, I've sprinted to most forms of public transit with my housemates because Danish transit is efficient to say the least. We are getting the hang of it, and I remembered how to get to school from the train station. (A major accomplishment with my sense of direction.) Copenhagen is beautiful, and I plan on taking lots of pictures when I get the chance. My host mother continues to make delicious meals, and she packs our lunches! I hope this isn't too boring!
