Want a Ride?

Leah and I have found our equivalent to Panera here. It is a wonderful little place with coffee and sandwiches!!!  Yum! Anyways, we took a trip there and on our way out, I stopped at Starbucks for a hot drink.  It is rainy season, it does get cold here sometimes.

So, I walked out with my Starbucks in my hand, and we strolled on down the street and headed to the nearest grocery store.  It's a good ten minute walk there. We don't mind, we've become used to walking just about everywhere.  

Suddenly, a fellow church member noticed us and pulled over.  It scared us to see someone we knew on the streets!  He asked us where we were going and we pointed in the direction of Lotus, the grocery store.  He offered us a ride, and we happily agreed.  

Leah and I squeezed on his motorcycle, which is hard to imagine! I felt really awkward, my hips were touching the back of him, and I barely knew him!!  Suddenly, it began to down-pour, Leah and i were screaming.  To add to all of the excitement, our ride was driving in head on traffic! He was weaving in and out of traffic, and I thought I was going to die!  

Just picture it:  two white girls screaming on a motorcycle, one holding a starbucks, the driver laughing his head off, weaving in and out of head on traffic... it was quite the scene.  We were getting plenty of stares... it's okay, I think we deserved them that time :)!!
