1 Juni - Corpus Christi

I have no idea what this holiday is, but everything is closed again.  Everything except the Capeiora studio that is :)  We headed off to Stuttgart early and took our time wandering about.  Now that we knew where we were going, we brought our bikes.  Fellbach is where the actual studio is and there are bike paths from the station all the way to the studio.  

Capieora was fun and exhausting as usual.  As a runner, I thought my legs were supposed to be strong, but nothing compares to this... I think it is all the lunging and jumping.  By the end of class, I am lucky to be kicking at ankle level.  Coordination still fails me anyway.  Skylar has that camera going 90% of the time and I am pretty sure we will 'accidentally' leave it at home next time.  Next time won't be for 10 more days though because the instructors are going on vacation.  Interesting how everyone takes vacation at the same time, like from this date to the this date is national vacation week.

That bike path that I mentioned is situated between the sidewalk and where the cars park.  So while riding home, some idiot opened their passenger side door right into Skylar as he was riding by.  Scared us both to death!  He toppled over and I flung my bike aside as I went over to him.  A bunch of people chattering in German were all around us and poor Skylar was just shaking.  His injuries weren't that bad, but he definitely got some bruising and scrapes.  Someone offered us some water and betadine to wash it out with.  He also got a little lump on his head.  The man that opened the door apologized and I refrained from yelling at him and just gave him a head nod with a look that I was not happy.  I know it was not his fault, nor Skylar's, but I was still mad.  Skylar's bike got a little banged up too and now his bell doesn't work very well.  He decided not to bike for the rest of the way because his leg hurt and I think he was pretty shaken up.  Handled it all like a rock star though.  He didn't cry and barely whined at all.  Once we got home we washed everything out and nothing looks very bad... just some nasty bruises.
