Plaid and Stripe

Day 2 - June 4

Went on first ride in two weeks(20 miler) along the most scenic bike path ive ever seen. at one point we had water on both sides of us while we rode along a thin strip of land, with a lighthouse to our right. Being on the bike felt amazing and the scenery made me yell in delight several times.

Immediately after i took my first ever group shower. Talk about comfort zones... Totally not a big deal, looking forward to more, in a hygienic sense that is.

We woke up at 6:30am and the day legit just didnt want to end. Just as my hunger almost won out, we arrived at the potluck barbeque the members of St. Martins church threw for us. Burgers for 32 starving people, and 3 alone for me, well these people are wonderful to say the least.

One charming person in particular was Robin, owner and proprieter of Plaid & Stripe. The dude is from Greeenwich village, so atuomatically legit. His "woof" cap though and two beagles, and awesome yellow rimmed spectacles were just the tip of his awesomeness. He described his store by explaining how one of his products is a fortune cookie for dogs that says inside, " One dog's poop is another dog's patte". Super cool, i think yes. He enthusiastically invited us to the store tomorrow, so that is definitely happening.

First build day is tomorrow, cant wait to put in those nails...
