Day Seven - October 14th, 2013

Today, which was October 14th, the weather was around 85 degrees. It felt very nice outside, not too cold or too hot. Today we decided to go Mountain Biking and we set the alarm for 8:00. Once we were awake we changed out of our pajamas and ate leftover room service from the day before. Once everyone was ready to go we headed downstairs and picked up the car. Megan drove to the place we were supposed to meet for the tour.  We got there around 9:30 and waited for the place to open.

Once it opened at ten, we picked out our bikes. I got a small pink bike, Miranda and Megan got a double seated blue bike, and Meghan and Krista both got green bikes. We collected our free water bottles, bike locks, and helmets and tr. walked outside. A shuttle took us and our bikes up to the top of the mountain. You could see so far from the top of the mountain. The view was stunning!!

We started our journey down the mountain. Megan and Miranda kept falling off the bike and it took a while for them to get used to pedaling at the same time. Once they got the hang of it we took off again down the mountain. It was pretty easy since the trail was mostly down hill and the breeze felt so nice since it was very warm out today. We stopped for a few minutes and took a dip of our water and stretched our legs. We kept going down the eighteen mile trail and when we got halfway we stopped at a campsite. They offered us crackers as cheese, pretzels, or a turkey sub. We all got the turkey sub but Ashlyn picked the crackers and cheese. We stayed there for about thirty minutes while we rested and climbed on the giant rocks. 

Once we were ready, we headed down the mountain and stopped at the creek we went swimming in the pond and played in the many waterfalls. The water was so refreshing and it felt nice to relax.

When we finally got to the end of the trail, it was almost dinnertime. We packed up our stuff, returned our bikes and headed to the parking lot. We drove back to the hotel and ordered food from the bar in the lobby. They offered burgers, chicken, anything greasy. We all got chicken fingers and a huge order of onion rings to share. We went back to the room when we were done and changed clothes. We headed down to the beach and took our snorkel sets with us. We looked at all of the fish in shallow water and ordered drinks from the beach side bar. Megan tanned and Meghan sat at the bar. Krista, Miranda and I went on a walk and collected shells from the hot sand.



It was the perfect end to a perfect day.
