Oh the places you go!

Ack, I'm not a very good blogger, gomenasai. There's so much that's been happening!

Thanksgiving break!! There was so much to be thankful, especially on the adventure over break!

It was kind of a "wing it" sort of trip, and we had bought our tickets the day before leaving campus. God has a knack for turning the topsy turvy into something that fits perfectly with everything else. And so our random trip became randomly amazing.

So last Tuesday, my friend and I took the bus to New York. We were supposed to leave at 3:20, but somehow it got delayed and we ended up leaving an hour and a half later. Well, ok. Thanksgiving break crowd, what can you do? There were actually quite a few other homebound college students, so we couldn't really complain. It was a rather nice drive once we got to the leaving bit. That's the thing about road trips after those long, hectic weeks of school: sitting and doing nothing but stare out the window. It was a pleasant change. But then came the twist! Things were going a little too well apparently, and someone decided that something needed to happen. Things always happen. We were supposed to stop at Philly, but the driver didn't have a GPS and got lost. It was hilarious, the people on the bus had to go and give him directions. (Thank goodness for people who know their way around!)

We got to the station at 2:30am, but had to wait for a friend. It wasn't too bad, there was an

interesting contraption at the station that had to do with pool balls and bells. Not to mention being able to watch people pass by. When you're in a big city with people from all over the country (and world), you pretty much get a world tour of cultures. After a couple of hours, our friend arrived and we hopped on the subway. It was exciting; I've never taken the subway

before! Though honestly, it wasn't as "sub" as I thought it would be. Anyway, we ended up arriving at our final destination at 5 in the morning...four hours later than we expected.

Wednesday, we slept in. We hopped on the bus, took the subway, and headed into the city to explore! Our first official stop ended up being at a church. (yup, typical Cy =D we started to keep a count of how many churches we visited) Honestly, we weren't really sure where we were headed after that, just being in the city was fun in itself.

Oh dear, have to run to class in a bit. I'll post more later...
