Day 3- Bike riding on the carriage roads of Acadia


At the beginning of the day
Beginning to ride
Yadin -  Today we went to bike in Acadia National Park. We missed the bus to bring us there with our bikes, but luckily another bus came 10 minutes later. During the ride, it was really fun. I believe I've gotten much better in biking. We started off at Eagle Lake and ended at Jordan Pond. When we got to Jordan Pond, Abba got us drinks -- Lemon Gatorade for me and Anan and Coke for Zoey. On the way back, there were these two big hills and I was the only one that was able to climb them.

Reunited
We were supposed to go to Bubble Pond but then me, Zoey, Mommy (and Rakia) thought we were going back the same way we came. I went ahead of everyone but I missed a turn and didn't realize it. I was starting to go up a steep hill. I was fine riding but after about 10 minutes, I realized I might have been going the wrong way. My brain told me to stop but my feet told me to continue. Not until I was really high up did I say to myself, "Yadin, you have to stop. You can't continue." Not that I was too tired to continue, just that I was scared they would be worried. I stayed there for 20 minutes. In the start of the 20 minutes I was just tired and felt annoyed at myself. I was going to get my water, luckily I found a map so I can figure out where I was. Then I biked down, and realized I missed a turn.

Back on the bus
 I was lucky I went the right way. I had so many thoughts about everyone. I finally saw Zoey and all the family. I was tired, but I learned a lesson, don't go ahead of everyone, if you don't know where you're going.
