Big Apple
On July 1st, 2006, Lindsey Bailey Harris and Megan Marie Barnes were scheduled to depart on a chinatown bus at 11:00 am. Destination: New York City. Unfortunately, Megan was still lying in her bed at 10:30. After repetative calls from Lindsey, she rushed to get ready. Upon walking out the door she found Lindsey in a stern mood.
But after giving her this look, she couldn't stay mad for long:
Their bus ride there was enjoyable. They talked about how excited they were to hit the big city:
The chinatown bus dropped them off at a random corner. They rushed to get out and then found Lara (Lindsey's friend) in the Italian market:
It was a hot day, so megan ran through sprinklers while lindsey took pictures (Megan also tackled little boy with red shirt on):
But really most their time was spent relaxing and drinking a few beers or being lost and looking at a map:
They did get stuck walking down a deserted alley, as co-workers had predicted (see their worried looks):
The ride back was a little scary due to an incident involving the chinatown bus bathroom:
They finally arrived home and Lindsey takes a picture of herself:
Ahhhh... what a way to spend the day for two small town girls. Posted by Megan at July 12, 2006 11:09 AM
don't they just have holes in the ground in chinatown bathrooms? how does one squat over a hole? are not the grounds in the bathrooms all wet, like they hose them down regularly?

Funny log of events though.
