Sunlight and Tires

Sunny days require outside adventures. Today we had a half day at work and the weather was perfect. I was finally able to borrow a bike from work. My two co-workers and I decided to hit the trails. It was great to feel the wind in my hair and hear the crunch of the gravel/road under my tires. Ive missed biking! I peddled hard, picked up speed and then let go of the handlebars. I felt like a child on the first day of summer with a smile on my face.

We took the power line trail near our place and went to the library for our first stop. Reading about travel makes me so depressed, but excited that I live in a world that has so much to offer. I was flipping through a Nat Geo Travel edition and really wishing that I would be able to travel to all the places and now! Right now!!

I decided to put down the magazine and just soak in some more sunlight that was peering through the large windows into the cozy seating area in the library.

Then we ventured back to the trail and stopped at this "healthy fast food" joint to get some... wait for it... healthy-ish fast food for dinner. Then we all biked back home at our own speed. I tried my hand at riding with no handle bars again. Its much easier on a mountain bike. I listened to those fat tires find on the pavement. Its been forever since Ive ridden a mountain bike. I miss my other bike but this bike will do for the season! I can't wait to go on more bike adventures!

Also, ps, because of my cousin, I am now reluctantly addicted to Game of Thrones with my coworkers. We watch two episodes like every other day. I wish I hadn't started...

Bio Bay, PR positives

The coolest part of our trip to Puerto Rico was definitely the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques [side note, bioluminescence is a big word, mostly it just means stuff that lights up but scientifically it means 'bio'-life, 'lumin'-light, 'escence'-to put forth. So, life that puts forth light!] It was an experience that I cannot easily put into words. The night started out a bit strange. We got picked up at our hostel at 9pm, along with 5 other girls, by a thirty-something, long-haired gentleman. He walked us about a block to the van that would transport us to the bio-bay. The van was, well, to put it nicely, a fixer-upper. It had bench seats which were collapsing, the roof fabric was falling down, it puttered around and squeaked during turns. Ty and I joked that we were paying 40 bucks to get murdered in this van especially when we turned down a dirt, side street that was full of pot holes. We slowly lumbered along this road for a few minutes until we made it to our ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...

Summerfest Day 1

Amazing. I was just going tonight to hang and  see some bands, no expectations, but SFest delivered on its first day. My friend Alex and I got there a bit early so we walked around the shops and the smaller stages. We stumbled upon Five Knives which were like a hip-hop-y Ke$ha. If you know me at all you'd know that I probably loved it. They were pretty fun. Then a bit later when we were sitting watching a local sax band play, the fireworks started. I never NEED to see the big bang but its always a pleasure when I see it. I got great seats by accident sitting on a table. I always have a smile on my face when I watch colorful explosions in the sky. Then, the white out, massive explosion that is the epic finale. I couldn't see anything for at least a minute afterwards. I love when the loudness is felt in your heart and there is so much going on that its just a colorful mess. Most excellent. Then we went to find Bastille. As soon as they came on I was extremely impressed. H...
