Our First Build Day & Mail Drop Information

Today we went over to the Providence chapter of Habitat for Humanity and built the walls for a house that will be going up soon. It was a cold, muggy day, so we were kind of fortunate to be inside the warehouse. My group had some trouble thanks to a wickedly bent board, but as a whole the day was a lot of fun.

Now we're just kind of hanging out until dinner when an alumni from the Providence to San Francisco 2007 group is going to come talk to us. I've already heard from two of our leaders, Shira and Jake, what its like, but I'm excited to hear someone else's perspective too.


Our Mail Drop dates and locations are up now. I know some of them don't have street addresses, but it will still get to the Post Office this way. If you want to send me something something (which would be way cool), address mail to:

We're scheduled to dip our tires in the Atlantic around 9:15 tomorrow morning. The mayor is coming to deliver a send-off speech, and then we'll head for Pomfret, CT around 9:45.

I'm not sure what internet access will be like from here on out (we've kind of gotten spoiled being here at Brown), but I'll do my best to keep the blog updated.

Tomorrow we ride!
