Hey PA

Hello,
I am now in Chambersburg Pennsylvania and have a build day tomorrow. Last build day we did demolition on a house that was being rehabed. I ripped down fake wood paneling and pulled up carpet. It was a lot of fun and I am excited to see what the build project will be tomorrow. We are staying at a homeless shelter for the next two nights and we get beds!!! Pennsylvania has been really beautiful, and much less hilly than Connecticut. A lot of farms and fields. I have met some really kind amazing people so far. Back in Stroudsburg we went to a bakery at closing time and they donated 5 trash bags full of delicious bread, donuts, etc. I am learning how to take care of my bike, changing tires and degreasing the chain. We went through Hershey yesterday but didnt stop at the amusement park. Tonight my brother is coming up to visit so it will be great to see him. I am taking lots of pictures, and will hopefully be able to upload some soon. I am starting to get some serious jersey and spandex tan lines, and best of all, glove tan lines. I am eating lots of peanut butter and jelly. We are making progress and will be headed to Cumberland, MD after the build day and then on to West Virginia for my birthday:) I hope everyone is having a great summer! Thanks everyone for reading!
