Today we found ourselves woken up at a Stayokay Hostel which was stationed inside of a medieval castle. Finist commanded everybody out of bed as boss, and we reluctantly complied. After brushing our teeth and whatnot, we began biking, recognizing the light at the end of the tunnel during our last night of camping. We […]
After our tents began to leak in the rain last night, we moved inside to the uncomfortable floor of the laundry room at the campsite. We had a difficult morning as we were biking straight into the wind over a huge land bridge connecting two islands. Then we stopped in a small town called Brugh […]
Our day started off with some bike issues but then started to look up with some delicious muffins. We headed downtown and enjoyed some racing up the Pilgrim Monument (except for the people who are afraid of heights haha.) We then had lunch at the beach and played some Marco Polo in the water!

(Special shout-out to one parent who made the journey from home twice to recover a forgotten helmet!) We got to know each other on a relaxing train ride from midtown to Tarrytown, and […]

After our delicious meal we bid farewell to two of our […]
Today we woke up at 7:30 to a splendid breakfast including granola, fruit, and yogurt. After we finished breakfast, we were all looking forward to talking to our parents as we had funny stories to share. Once all of our calls were concluded we were headed to the beach. It was a very short ride […]
