phili is fun!

After graduation at Goucher last Friday and a celebratory meal with our graduating friends, Celia and I set off for Philadelphia. We weren't off to a great start because the bus was over two and a half hours late. But we met someone who's just moved back from London to Phili and was having a party the next night so that was cool.
We arrived at our hostel on free beer and open mic night. It was in the heart of the old town and surrounded by bars, clubs and restaurants. so we went out the first night and had loads of cocktails! we were only there for the weekend so went sight seeing in the day then the next night went out with people from the hostel, including an Australian guy who's been travelling for a while and gave us details of great places to stay in Miami and New Orleans. He's also in new york soon and then boston and at the same hostel as us (hi hostels are the fun ones here that are for young people and have free beer and entertainment nights on a lot. We went out to a bar then to the house party (that was being shut down by the police when we arrived so we dodged that bullet!)
It's been so weird here having bars and clubs shut at 2am!
Niagara falls was beautiful. The trip however was ridiculous. The tour guides barely spoke English and we were on that coach for over 20hours over the two day trip and it became very expensive so we were not impressed, but we stayed with our friend alex for a night in upstate new york which was so fun and needed! Home comforts after that annoying and time wasting trip were the best thing ever!

Now we're in New York and I met up with Ama yesterday, it was sooo goood to see her.
i love New York and will write more about it from Boston!
I hope all is well everyone
