We woke up and went down from our lighthouse hostel to the explore the ocean tide pools. Colin and Ian climbed on the rocks while Silas kept a close eye on them and searched for crabs. Ian then fell in waist deep into the water while Shelter laughed (Ian is totally okay). We biked on to Santa Cruz where we did laundry. During laundry we dropped by a pizza place for a delicious lunch. Then we stopped in a bike shop, and did some shopping to prepare for our first night of camping. We continued biking in the beautiful California weather (not a cloud in the sky!), with cliffs to one side and the expanse of ocean to the other. We snacked on fresh local apricots, the first time eating apricots for most of the group! We got to our campsite which is near the ocean, and made some dysfunctional, but edible, hotdogs and other delicacies. We're excited to continue the adventure tomorrow!
