Today I got to the shop around 9am, and helped work on an old trailer that they carry canoes on. Afterwards, River and I took a group of kids in an after school program out on the Sunflower River. There were more kids than there were on Monday, and we all had a great time. I paddled with a 13 year old named Kyle who liked to rap and talk about cars. He was really funny and kept saying that our canoe was a Bugatti. I had a great time talking to everyone and getting to know more kids in Clarksdale. A lot of people here have been very welcoming and nice to me despite the fact that I'm not a local.
I am also excited because I have to circumnavigate an island called island 63 in the Mississippi River tomorrow!
