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!

Rome for the weekend!

I don't have any pictures from Rome since most of the places we went didn't allow them (The Vatican Museum, Scavi Tour, etc.); however, it was a nice weekend for Alex and I to celebrate our two year anniversary woo!! Who has two thumbs and loves commitment? THIS GUY! Anyway, as you might expect we saw most of the major sites in Rome like the museums and Spanish steps. This really isn't all that interesting, but what is interesting is the short period in which I saw a bunch of these sites. Let me map this out:

Saturday: Paris, go to the Louvre.
Sunday: Paris, go to the Palace of Versailles.
Monday: Florence, school :(
Tuesday: Florence, the Uffizi Gallery.
Wednesday: Florence, the Bargello Museum.
Thursday: Florence, school :(
Friday: Rome, the Vatican Museum.

How is that for some culture absorption? Not only did I go to the top three museums in the world in one week, but I squeezed in Versailles and the Bargello as well. The only thing holding me back from seeing more, you guessed it, school!
