New England Shore Trekkers Visit Mystic Seaport
Today we woke up at 7:00 am and we packed up in record time. We biked 20 miles and there were a lot of hills and a lot of down hills. I was the point today and it was fun. I got to navigate and find the way to our next destination. We bought food and ate lunch at Mystic Seaport. After lunch
we walked around Mystic Seaport, which was an old time shipbuilding port now turned into a museum. We toured one of the old whaling ships and saw a lot of buildings (52 if I'm correct) that showed the different work that used to be done there. My favorite part was going into the old pharmacy and seeing a demo of how pills used to be made by the pharmacists. After Mystic Seaport we biked a mile to the hotel (thank God there were no more hills) and checked in. I was excited to see a real bed and a minifridge. We unloaded our bikes and rode back into downtown Mystic and got some pizza at Mystic Pizza, which a movie is named after. The pizza was amazing and I ate 5 slices. Later we went swimming in the hotel pool. When we got out there were no towels but the front desk worker gave us towels that he personally warmed up and folded for us. Mmm fancy. Tomorrow we have the biggest bike ride in human history (38 miles) to Block Island.
