Day 4 - Suffolk, VA

We woke up at 6 AM.  Crazy for a college student.  Crazy.  But we did it, and we enjoyed it.  And we didn't have to put on bike shorts because it was build day!!!!

So I mentioned how we had dinner at a coffee place the night before, right?  Well we got that dinner for free.  And then we biked to a nice seafood place and got breakfast for free.  And then we got lunch for free, and then a second dinner for free.  How, you may ask?  Because a certain Suffolkian woman is the nicest person I've ever met.  So, for the build day, I helped clean her house.

Note to donors: her house is the headquarters for about half of the supplies for Suffolk's tornado cleanup, and she is the head for about 600 volunteers and the go-to lady whenever your confused about where to be and when.  She also paid for Lois's new wheel (destroyed in our earlier crash).  She's incredible.  

There were also lots of spiders under her house (where I spent much of my day).

Then we biked to the YMCA and got showers, and slept in the gym and met an adorable Scottish woman that took good care of us.  Cory and I played pool, some other people did our laundry, and everyone reorganized their suitcase because it is quite difficult to live out of.  Then we went to bed in preparation for the next day's ride.
