A day of rest.

Ok, so today we were supposed to spend the day on a Habitat build site in Pensacola, FL. We arrived at the site in the morning, and were doing a lot of hammering in working towards getting the frames of the house done. After being there about an hour, however, the clouds broke and waterfalls fell from the sky. There was some lightning so we were forced to stop what we were doing and find some shelter in one of the houses that already had a roof. We tried to wait it out, but the rain was not stopping so were had to leave the build site.

Honestly this was a big disappointment for me. We bike so hard and far to get to build days- which are only about once a week if that. So it was a bit of a bummer that we couldn't be of more use here in Pensacola for the Habitat people. But in about 5 days we'll be in New Orleans for 5 days so hopefully we will be of great use there.

Since we didn't build today we really only spent the day hanging out in the church we're staying at. Allow me to try to paint you all a picture of this church. We're staying in the youth/children's education building and they've pretty much got everything you could ever hope to entertain yourself with. We're talking ping pong tables, pool table, foosbal (spelling? I don't think I've ever spelled that word before), Nintendo Wii, Guitar Hero, speakers that blast and allow for amazing dance parties, and really comfy couches pointed towards a screen that allow for movie watcing.

So we've been entertained. Honestly I don't think we know what to do with it all. We're so used to entertaining ourselves with playing cards and and empty gym floor and having to come up with games such as who can to the longest handstand or something.

So I'd really like to extend a huge thank you to the Gulf Breeze United Methodist church for sharing their facilities with us. They've provided us with two dinners and allowed us to take over a part of their church for two nights, and let me just say that we've been so happy here.

We've got a long day of biking tomorrow. Originally we were going to bike 70ish miles, but we changed our route for safety reasons and better roads. So now we're doing our first century! 100 miles baby!

I'm a bit terrified.

Should be fun. :)

I'm excited to get to New Orleans and get some productive building in. Let's all pray for clear skies for the next week! (for biking and building's sake)
