I finished my sweat equity pulling weeds at hope house, which is a transitional home for homeless mothers and their kids. Not Habitat related but still deals with homelessness/in need people.
I also spent the best $1.25 ever! Thursday I did the 48 mile ride. Started at 12:30pm in 95+ degree weather on my old bike. Took an extra 40 minutes, a lot more hard work and all of my 100oz hydration pack. When I got back to the parking lot the water I had in the car was warm, so I went to a vending machine and got the most refreshing water ever!
Friday and Saturday were sweet going away parties for me. Family, friends, rock band and an awesome time! Told people more in detail what my planes were, how I was getting to Nags Head, etc.
I got up at 3am to go get on a plane to fly to Norfolk, VA. So this is where I am, couch surfing(check out couchsurfing.com if you don't know what that is) on some guys couch, very close to the water, just had a sweet asian portobello salad and borrowing someone's wi-fi(Thank You!).
Tomorrow I'm going to ship my duffle to Nags Head and hopefully get my bike to start putting it back together. I'll bring my camera and take some pictures of the sweet houses or anything else I deem cool enough to photograph.
Hannah is getting in on Tuesday and the plan it to bike 40 miles that day. We'll see how that goes!
I know some of you wanted me to post the itinerary and I will, just after we get to orientation. That way you can get the most up to date info.
Oh, almost forgot about the butt cream! So you totally need it when you ride a whole bunch, which I do and will continue to do for the next 2 months.
I put the bottle in my bike shoes to save space and brought those shoes on carry-on backpack. The screener had to open it up but I didn't know what he was looking for until he took out the cream. I laughed and said I totally forgot about it. Didn't even think about the no liquids thing.
That just means I need to get some more tomorrow. Ah, good start to the adventure of a lifetime.
Later for now!

Very sorry to hear that you had your butt cream confiscated. I hope that you did not have to or even try to explain why you were carrying that.
Haha! You crack me up! See you guys tomorrow!
