Day 5!

Today was a travel day. My friends and I departed Boston early that morning to head to Providence for lunch. The weather was very pleasant and the sun warmed up our faces and lifted spirits.

We stopped in Providence for lunch, and decided to look around Brown University before getting a meal. We took pictures of the famous “Rocktree” on campus. Then, we ate at Wong’s Kitchen, which had served tasty Vietnamese food.

Heading towards New York City after filling our stomachs, most of us napped. While entering Manhattan, the familiar sights and sounds of the nightlife from the city that never sleeps comforted my senses after a long day. I met my college friend after reaching the hotel and took the subway to her house in Brooklyn. Today was a great mix of new experiences tied with old, familiar, and homely places.

Stay tuned!
