| Natural Campsite in Newport, RI |
Today we started the day off waking up to a beautiful day on Block Island.
Breaking from the usual routine, we got straight on our bikes without breakfast
and headed straight to the beach with our gear packed and ready for the day
ahead. At the beach, some decided to take a frigid dip while others prepared
bagels. After everybody was full and ready to go, most of the group headed to
the center of town where we met up with Sarah and Yotam, as they had been
getting Yotam's bike repaired. Then we all headed over to the ferry for a
journey from the island to the mainland. Our destination was Newport, Rhode
Island. Once the bikes were carted off of the boat we headed to
our new campsite in a meadow of a generous friend's property. Everybody unpacked
their gear and set up the tents and played some very thought provoking games.
Afterwards, everyone hopped on their bikes to head into the center of town for a
bit of shopping free time. On the way we encountered many Victorian era
mansions. In town everybody enjoyed fudge and a good hour of window shopping.
Then the days cooks, Lauren, Andrea, and Adam went food shopping as the days
cleaning crew hung out. Then after an unfortunate loss of whipped cream, we
biked back to the campsite and got ready for a tasty dinner of chili and
delightful dessert of hot cookies with whipped cream. With the moon shining
above us we told stories and enjoyed another evening together.
