We had an awesome breakfast today–– cinnamon buns and fruit!!
Our build day began at 9am, and we biked just under a mile to get there.
I spent my morning in the shade, filling in a trench by the house with dirt by myself. It was a lot of work but I'm very proud of how it came out.
We got pizza for lunch, and then we all worked on moving some dirt around the yard for about two hours. Before that though, everyone took a nap in the grass.
Once we got back from the build, some friends and I went to a local boutique to poke around. We didn't find anything we wanted to lug across the country, but we did find a coffee shop down the street!
I got an oat milk iced latte with rose and it was delicious. After that, we all went back to the pool, where some more friends met us. We had a great afternoon!
The host made us tamales for dinner, and we gave a dinner presentation to round out the evening.
Because I have a 4:30 wakeup (and it's going to be 100 degrees tomorrow) I'm going to head to bed now!
One thing I'm not looking forward to is cooking breakfast for everyone at 4:15 in the morning. And I am certainly looking forward to the mail drop tomorrow! More on the next 60 miles tomorrow.
Keep that positive attitude going Livvy! You are doing so great!! Take a look at a map sometime and think for a second how you got where you are on a bike!! I like how you are setting mini goals for yourself. ”It always seems impossible until it is done”-Nelson Mandela 😊
Proud of you Livvy! Sounds like you’re really enjoying your experience of riding with your friends and helping others out. I love that picture of everyone taking a nap on the lawn.
You had lots of cool things going on… cinnamon buns, fresh fruit, a sweet little frog, heavy duty shoveling, group nap… now that’s what I call a well-rounded day! Keep it going, Livvy Ray! ❤️
I bet your arms are sore from shoveling dirt!! The path looks great and level…what’s for breakfast? The FROG is so cute, did you keep it? I love love looking at the pictures you post and you tell the story so wonderfully. 😍
