I like beach churches

You can't really tell from this photo, but the church where we're
staying for the next two days is really huge and has surfboards hung
along the balcony when you walk in, in addition to a couple flat
screen TVs. They must broadcast the game before the service...



I have been oriented, but more importantly I've finally met the people I'm going to be spending the next 9 weeks with. They all have their stories and are at different points in their life, but now we're all here together about to embark on either the biggest mistake or adventure of our lives. Summer never sounded so promising.



All my efforts prior to this trip - fundraising, training, building and getting distracted from school work have worked up an image in my head of what this is going to be like. There's expectation and excitment surrounding any major event in life, but now that I'm here there is a certain level of realness to it. I'm actually going to bike to San Diego and it's absolutely insane, but I've never been so game in my life. First testride tommrow...here we go...
