September 17

Breakthrough. (Cape Hatteras, N.C.) Ben and I spent a good chunk of our morning SWEATING//SLEEPING//ITCHING//STRUGGLING. When we couldn't take it anymore, the unanimous decision was to take showers and plan our first day in the gorgeous outer banks.........Located in a shack, separated from the bathrooms were the showers; they were beautiful little holes in the wall that had pull strings to run the cold water on. The shower walls had been painted 3 times through the course of time: a creamsicle orange, an off-white, and a sky blue. All showing through in a rustic, speckled, abstract way. We later set off to grab a little breakie and fell into a small food shack called the HATTERASMAN. >>50 cent bottomless cup of coffee>> bacon, egg & cheese on a biscuit>> the start of a wonderful day! After breakie, we spent the rest of our day soaking up the sun and playing with the ocean.
