End of day 1


It is 19:00 and I am beat.  I walked the route to GP and found it without any real trouble.  On the route are atleast 5 supermarkets, 8 shoe stores, and 1 huge church.  I came back to the dorm after finding GP to warm up a bit and then went back out a little over an hour ago.  I walked in the only direction I hadn't gone yet from the dorm and found more of the same from this new city.  

I bought a few things from a grocery store and a danish for a snack and am suprised at how cheap food here is--a fairly large wedge of organic brie was like 1,39 euro.

I have easily walked 6 miles today and all my joints are throbbing after a month at home with no exercise.  I am planning on getting in bed and reading until I fall asleep.

It was a good first day and I am already learning a lot-for example: I have mastered how much time you have to cross the street after the green pedestrian light stops

also--ID was ranked 9th best job to have by the Wall street journal!
