Today was a blast!
We ride from Des Moines to Marshalltown, which was a very quick ride. I rode with Sanjeev from Marshalltown and my chapter brother Saurabh. The roads were smooth and the rolling hills were quite fun.
Once we arrived in Marshalltown we headed to an awesome water park for a friendship visit. A youn man named Oscar hung out with us for the afternoon as we swam, dove, and road the water slides. We even got sno kones which made the day even better.
Following the park we headed to our hotel, which staying in a hotel was a pleasant surprise for us. We also had the opportunity to do laundry, which many of us really needed to do after sweating in the humidity.
For our second friendship visit we headed to the bowling alley. To start things off at the alley, the mayor of Marshalltown, Thomas Thompson gave us a signed proclamation declaring today Journey of Hope day in Marshalltown. We then ate an awesome catered dinner and started our games of bowling.
I am terrible at bowling, and failed to break 100 either game today. The ladies we bowled with had their own balls and shoes and you could tell they meant business! After two games of bowling we were pooped and just chilled and talked until it was time for the big group photo.
Following the friendship visit we headed to the car wash to get our vans clean. The car was is always and fun time and is very entertaining as well. With 35 sets of hands the cleaning goes very quickly as well.
To cap off the night we headed out for milkshakes before our 6am wake-up tomorrow to ride 90 miles to Cedar Rapids.
Thanks for checking in!
Love & Honor,
Beau
