I really enjoyed writing in photo form yesterday. I feel that I was able to present a good amount of information in an organized way. And you guys get to visualize what I'm trying to convey in words. So here we go again!
 |
| Today the team geared up for our first build day, with Charleston Habitat for Humanity. |
 |
| Today's task was to start AND finish the shingling on the roof. We totally rocked it and completed the project in about 4 hours. |
 |
| Lunch was provided by Cabot Farm's Gratitude Grill, a co-op food truck that travels around giving back to other volunteers through cooking. We were served some seriously mouth-watering grilled cheeses. |
 |
| Chrisana is the homeowner of the house we built on today. She is the mother of a 12 year old girl and is also currently pregnant with another girl. Her house should be finished and ready for move-in in August. Also pictured here is Erin, the person I've connected with most on the trip so far. We've already had our fair shares of laughs together so I can only imagine that spending the summer with her will be great. |
 |
| After a presentation at MUSC on exercise and nutrition in relation to cross-country cycling, the team played a friendly game of Knock Out. |
 |
| Our farewell dinner was at California Dreaming, a restaurant that I (as a South Carolina native) am familiar with but that no one else had been to. It has been fun knowing the inside scoop of some of the places we've been to. |
 |
| The whole team was stoked about and amused by eating at California Dreaming tonight seeing as we are all setting out for California tomorrow chasing after the dream of completing a cross-country bike trip. A big thanks to Pastor Daniel and Trinity United Methodist Church for going above and beyond as a host and purchasing us a fantastic farewell dinner! |
Tomorrow we have our tire dipping ceremony on the Atlantic coast and we officially head toward the West. My teammates and I are all very excited to get moving! Thanks for all your support! Stayed tuned!
