12 mile Ride to Aliso School in Carpinteria from
Santa Barbara.
Our last day in the Santa Barbara area, we rode to
12 miles to Aliso Elementary school where we were greeting
with smiling faces and welcome signs. More compost games and
lots of time to revamp their butterfly garden with 6th grade
classes. When we left the garden it was filled with colorful
butterfly-attracting flowers, plants, and energy. Good times and
great teamwork! Another 15 miles led us to Emma Woods campgrounds.
We also got the privilege to sit in on a lecture given by the
wonderful Peggy O'Neill, a tiny speaker with a HUGE message.
We lovedher talk on celebrating diversity. She certainly
inspired us! Check out her website at:

i have to say, your group has a very welcoming feel. it was great to spend an afternoon with so many light-spirited people who are involved in a program as wonderful as this FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS. i am very impressed with your program. the kids seemed to respond very well to the combination of adventure and hands on activities along with your message of sustainability.
it was a pleasure meeting some of you and getting to know what you are all about and is encouraging to know that a program like this exists... much luck to all of you, as i am sure this is a personal journey for many of you as well. enjoy!
nicole, i am looking forward to talking with you about helping the program gorw and seeing you and the others out on the island in january. get in touch when you are settled again and readjusted. all the best!
