Goodbye Peoria, Hello New Orleans!!
After much anticipation, the day that get to New Orleans has finally arrived. In just a few short hours, we will arrive, and I am really looking forward to the rest of the week. In the beginning, I has a little nervous about rooming with people I just met. However, after meeting them, I think it is going to be a great week. Talking with Sommer and getting to know her on the way to New Orleans has been super fun! They all also like to take picture and that's a really good thing because I tend to take a fair amount of pictures. Also, sleeping on the train was nothing like how I thought it was going to be. Somehow I managed to fall asleep early (around 11:30pm) and I woke up wayyyy earlier than normal (about 6am). I do not think that its set in how far from home we actually are yet, but I definitely think it will be easy to tell the difference between Illinois and Louisiana. I have also enjoyed looking out the window, and taking in all the sights as the train passes by. As we get closer, the gray stormy sky appears to be lifting. Fingers crossed we have good weather the rest of the week! Overall, I am really grateful that I have meet the people that I have, they have helped calm most of my nerves about the trip. We have been trying to plan our free day, so hopefully the weather stays nice so we can go on as many adventures as possible.
