Day Off

Today was my first full day off. To make the most out of an overcast, Portland-esque day, I hopped on my bike and headed to Oak Bluffs. Oak Bluffs is another town about 7.3 miles away from Edgartown. On my way there, I stopped at a small coffee shop had a delicious bagel with cream cheese and lox, and a iced chai coffee (I am getting addicted to iced coffee and tea drinks here because they always have a huge free vat for employees to help themselves). After devouring my breakfast I biked from Edgartown to OB. Along the way I stopped at a small bridge and watched some fishermen. Before long I made friends with two families with kids. I even got to help one of the girls pull in her fish. My legs were itching! Uncle Boo needs to get here already! As I rested on the bridge I was able to read some of my book, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. On one side was a small lagoon and on the other side was the ocean. Even though it wasn't the prettiest day I appreciated the spectacular landscape. Along the ride I had wonderful views of the ocean and could smell the salt water as I peddled by. Eventually I arrived in OB and had lunch in a small park. I packed a sandwich (sandwichito for Nicol) some pretzels (for dad), and an apple. In the park I relaxed, read my book and spoke to a few people on the phone. After I commenced my lunch I locked up my bike and walked around Oak Bluffs (OB). By this time I was really thirsty and of course had to go to the bathroom. So off I went to the first ice cream shop hoping that if I bought an ice cream they would let me go to the bathroom. But of course there was no bathroom and instead I was left with a huge "small ice cream." After eating literally two spoonfuls I threw the ice cream away and ventured towards the public bathroom. From there I biked home, stopping briefly at a small roadside cart selling small-normal small iced lemonade. On my way home I passed by a bike shop replaced a small stopper for my handlebars and headed home. Once home I jumped in the outdoor shower and changed my clothes, ready for the rest of my night! Tonight is Frisbee Friday at a nearby elementary school, other than that I have no idea what I am doing!!!! Love you all!
