I am slowly beginning to figure out the bus system. Very
slowly. Given American’s obsession with cars, I am not used to cities of this
size having really good bus systems that are reliably good. It’s rather delightful, but it takes a bit of
getting used to…and I’m still trying to figure out the difference between bus
routes 25 and 25A, both of which get me close to my house. Maybe one day I’ll figure out which is
actually more efficient; for now, I’m just enjoying the fact that getting on
whichever bus is closest to me gives me a fun and often new view of the city.
The first several times I rode, I forgot that I was on a
double decker and never went up to the roof.
That has finally been rectified!
Though as I’m typing this, I’m on yet another route I don’t really
know. So we’ll see when and how I get
home! : )
If this is posted online, though – you can assume that I
made it! I don’t have internet right
now, so I can’t make this public until I arrive at Mary Chapman.
In the meantime, you get to hear about observations from the
bus.
We just passed “Eaton Park,” someplace I haven’t seen yet as
it’s a bit off the beaten track for students.
But it includes lots of grass and a really lovely pool with an almost
Parthenon-like building reflected in the water….that’s on the list of things to
explore!
