Day 65: Rest day, Hooray!

Today was our rest day in Bend, Oregon. One group spent a large portion of the day hiking. They got to see some amazing views ( check Instagram) and got to be at 9,000 feet elevation. Another group spent the morning getting breakfast and doing laundry and later went downtown to explore. Bend is a charming town with cool outdoorsy vibes. It has been on of my favorite places for sure. The deschutes river flows throughout the town where people kayak and tube down. It was nice to sit by the water with a book and relax, which is what many of us did. Later on some on the 21 year old checked out some breweries, which is something Bend is known for. Overall it was a lovely and restful day.

Special thanks to Maggie’s parents for donating dinner tonight. Chipotle never disappoints!

Memorable moment: Eric changing his name to Martin at the restaurant and then claiming the order was not his when they called out for Martin.
