This kid worked for the proprietor of the bike rental shop. he taught me how to operate the 4-wheeler and maneuver through the city. Since we didn't know the city and it was my first time--he rode on the front of the bike the whole way--for one hour! He told me where to turn and when to slow down etc. He didn't speak any English--it was mostly thru gestures. Leah rode on the back, and, as you can imagine, we drew quite a few stares--two American chicks and a kid cruising thru traffic in Alexandria (yea, without helmets). It was, by far, one of the coolest rides I've taken yet. Gonna try this in the desert soon, (with helmets) so stay tuned...
