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!

Europeans aren't the cleanest...

I hate saying this, but I am so fed up with cleanliness here. Look at this tiny stick of deodorant I just bought at the Pharmacy.



That's right. 10.50 EURO! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!?!? That's 13.9360 United States dollars at 7:37am EST December 13th, 2010. Who pays that much for a tiny thing of deodorant. Oh and there were other cheaper options, but they were all sprays. How old am I 12? I can't even remember the last time I used a spray on deodorant. Sorry for the rant, but I just got ripped off. If I was staying longer than I week I would ask someone to send me some good ole American toiletries.
