What Bike and Build is all about...

Bike and Build is a non-profit organization that raises money and awareness for the affordable housing crisis through the arrangement of cross-country biking trips. The organization primarily engages college students ages 18-25 on 8 different routes. Specifically, Bike and Build attempts to engage young adults in a life-long commitment to service and philanthropy by providing participants with a very intimate approach to the affordable housing crisis. For more information about the organization, check out their website at www.bikeandbuild.org.

Also, a very big thank you to everyone who donated to the cause. Each rider is required to raise a minimum of $4,000 and my current total is $6,770! Thank you again for your support!

Venezia con mi madre e amici!!

Venice was just as you would expect it. Full of dirty water and tourists. Just the way I like it! Anyway, my day trip there was great! Nothing particularly exciting happened there story wise so here are my pictures from the visit. The only thing that calls for comment is the glass factory. The guy that put on a show for Alex and I was awesome. He made us a flower vase, then a horse...YES a horse out of what was originally just a ball of molten glass. He used a long pipe as the holding piece and a pair of metal tweezers to shape the objects. After they are done being shaped they get put back in a cooler furnace to solidify before they are sold.
