We woke up on Block Island to a sunny, hot morning. We biked into town and set up in a shady park to make coffee and oatmeal for breakfast. After that, we biked to a farm on the island and saw goats, kangaroos, alpacas and tortoises. Then we biked to the Southern Lighthouse built in 1873, which was on a hill and we could see the bluffs down to the ocean from the lighthouse. We hiked down the bluffs and walked along the ocean looking at cool marine life. We saw a starfish and lots of crabs. We also met a marine biologist who taught us a lot about the local marine life. Later, we floated on a banana boat and played king of the boat where we wrestled each other off and the last one on was the king. After a lot of time in the sun, we worked up some hunger so biked to a restaurant on the island and ate burgers and sandwiches. We were all a bit tired, so we boosted our energy with cold coffee and live music. There was a great band playing by the ocean and lots of people were dancing. After this, we played frisbee-jackpot in the ocean and then cooked dinner on a dock while the sun set. While sitting on the dock in the marina, we saw a big yellowfin tuna that someone had caught. It was a fun and filling day, so we biked back to the campground and went to sleep in our tents. Tomorrow we will leave the island and head to Mystic, CT.
