We:
- drove to Syracuse and had a late night dinner in the restaurant. The waitress recommended a good breakfast joint, called Stella's.
- ate at Stella's and drove to Matt's and Lia's family cabin in Waitsfield, VT on Sat. After figuring out the locks, propane, water, and fridge, and after cleaning up mouse poop, we had a most fantastic dinner at American Flatbread. It alone was worth the 26-hour drive. There's a photo below of the cabin, as well as of the farm where American Flatbread is located.
- went for a huge, steep, slippery tiring hike and then swam in the brook on Sunday.
- went to the Ben and Jerry's in Waterbury and drove to Matt's cousin Margi's house on Monday. We ate chicken and veggies from her backyard.
- went to Margi's boyfriend John's house near East Burke. A photo of his excellent toilet paper holder is below. Dan mountain bikes with them on the famous Kingdom Trails. John essentially is the founder of that system. I went for my own little ride (photo below). Dan dropped me off at camp. A photo from that first night is shown below.
That was just last night, I guess. We rowed almost immediately, ate dinner, watched videos of some of us, and went to bed. We've already rowed twice today and watched videos of all of us. Yoga is happening in 20 mins, and then we row again. All before dinner.
The food is fantastic, and I got to have fresh-pressed apple cider. I am consuming more calories than I've burned, I think. That's why (also my freakin' sore back is calling for some stretchy ab work) I opted for yoga over going to the brewery tour. (The coach is buying me a growler, however.)
Tomorrow we row a ton, and race.
