Since our arrival in Star City close to 3 months ago, we’ve met quite a few people and a true sense of camaraderie has taken over. Given the serious nature of what we’re doing, the entertainer in me is working hard at keeping the atmosphere light, so a good fit of the giggles is always welcome! I have to say that I’ve found a fine partner in Barbara.

This week’s anecdote: Barbara and I had our bikes stolen! We were in our ham radio class and had left our bikes outside, unlocked. During a short break, Barbara went outside, and when she came back, she said: “It’s funny but two young boys are looking at our bikes as if they wanted to take them!” We didn’t think much of it but she was right, since that’s exactly what happened. This brings to 3 the number of bikes stolen, since Geneviève, my coordinator, also ended up “bikeless”!

However, that very same evening, our friends from Space Adventures in Russia brought us 2 new bikes. And so the training continues! Let’s call it “Adapting the body’s position to a new terrestrial bike!”
