We eventually woke up after our long, much needed rest in the hostel. We had a slow morning. We then ate plenty of food for breakfast which mostly consisted of bagels and some even added the extraordinary creation of peanut butter and fluff on a slice of bread. We all hung out in the hostel playing an intense game of Uno and a very short game of Monopoly which ended after 5 min when we all faked our sudden deaths and forfeited. Later we got dressed and set out to the bus stop which would eventually bring us to the Jaws bridge which you can jump off of. Once we arrived we quickly got our bathing suits on eager to leap off the bridge. First Max jumped, then Tessa bravely jumped off after him, following with Lena, Juliet, and Dylan. We all tried to look our bests in the air while Rabeka took videos of us. We later did not peer pressure Ben to jump in, he willingly took a leap of faith after 45 min of debating wether he should or not (We were all so proud that he overcame his fear of heights). We then decided we were done jumping off bridges so we moved towards just calmly swimming in the water. This was a great bonding event for Tessa, she made many new friends at that beach we were very fascinated by her impeccable social skills. Then we dried off and got on the bus again and set out to go to town where we were hoping to go to the “First Friday festival” in Vineyard Haven on Martha’s Vineyard. We then arrived but we decided that none of the food trucks arched our level of hunger so we went into town to look for some other restaurants. After looking at a few different restaurants we decided on an Asian food place where we all ordered food. Then there was the incident at the ice cream shop. Now you must be wondering what could’ve gone wrong in an ice cream shop with a bunch of tired kids. But us curious kids read a tiny sign saying “say OINK to order” we then told Dylan who was eager to order that he must say oink because we thought it was an overall rule for ordering. He then said “OINK” and all the workers got excited, one then rang a huge bell they started screaming and singing they then brought out a huge bowl and asked him to pick a dozen different flavors to add to the bowl. He got all excited till they told him it will cost him a total of $50 dollars. I almost died it was absolutely hilarious seeing Dylan’s face. We ended the night with many laughters and we headed home calmly.
