Opportunity Bike Trip

We never thought our passion for biking would take us across Western Europe. However, as Young Ambassadors for Opportunity, we are currently biking from Sweden to Portugal in an effort to raise over $5000 to open a bank in Tanzania through Opportunity International, with help from some great European friends! Opportunity International is a nonproft organization dedicated to reaching the poor through the power of microfinance. My involvement with Opportunity International began with an Insight Trip to Nicaragua, where I experienced firsthand, the impact of microfinance. The trip changed my life and I am now devoted to using my skills to serve the poor. Please help us raise $5000 for Opportunity International, and help others pursue their own dreams: a better life.

Convalescence: A Necessary Thing

Well, I like to give the bad news first: we are still in Daytona Beach aka Großenbrode

Good news: Kris´s knee feels a bit better, and Forshfvud`s health has improved! We just want to take one ore day to make sure that they are in tip top shape for biking tomorrow. So do not worry families, things are looking up, we just have to spend one more wonderful night here... which to say the least once again, is far from wonderful.

Keep you updated, in the meantime, we are well working on getting our tan equal among are upper bodies, since all of us have pretty bad biker tans... oh yes, there will be pictures

Cheers

Scott
