Today we woke up to the sound of gently chirping birds. After a brief breakfast
of blueberries and bagels, we hit the road and headed out to the northernmost
point of Block Island with our sights set on the North Light lighthouse. After
a sunny bike ride and a luxurious hike through the sand we made it to the
beautiful ocean side lighthouse. We spent the next couple of hours simply
enjoying ourselves on the beach; doing yoga, collecting shells, and soaking up
some sunshine. We then made our way back to the bicycles and grabbed some food
to have a beach picnic beside a sparkling pond. After eating our fill, playing
the guitar, and swimming in the fresh waters, we decided to pack up and head
into downtown Block Island. We then had an hour to roam free and explore the
beautiful streets of the town. While Adam, Willem, and Yotam broke off to get
candy and slushies, Hazel, Lauren, and Andrea spent some quality time window
shopping and picking out bumper stickers. After meeting up we headed over to a
classic fried seafood restaurant in which we indulged in clam cakes, fried
shrimp, and root beer floats. Soon after, We decided to hit the road and set
our sights for the other side of the island to catch the sunset. While reaching
the beach in the nick of time and enjoying some sunset swimming, the Trekkers
soaked up the last moments of the long day. We soon headed off for a short but
sweet night ride through the sea side streets and returned back to the camp
site tired and content.
