I finally have access to the internet after a couple crazy days of travel, so here's what's new! We drove to Newark and met up with the HP boys team at the airport. Then we got on a 7-hour red eye flight, arriving in Berlin at 8am. We drove right over to the boat house we are staying at. It's a beautiful old red building, facing out over the flat water. We're staying 8 girls to a room on bunk beds and sharing locker rooms; it's pretty close quarters! But it's also really fun, and wow...is the food good or what. Oh, man, it's delicious: toast and cheese and fresh fruit and baked casserole.
We did an easy 30 minute erg piece yesterday to shake out the plane ride. This morning, we headed over to the other boathouse that we launch from, which is a 20 minute walk away. We took out the 8+ and a 4- and rowed by fours, sixes, and eight around the entire island on a scenic river, which took about 2 hours. Scenic is an understatement!
While I got to sit out, I checked out the mansions, grassy fields, pleasure boats, beaches, and ancient church steeples rising out from the forest. It is so beautiful here.
