I don´t know what life would be like here if we didn´t
have the friends that we have. Imagine going to bed at 2:30 in the morning and
having to be up at 5:15 that same day. It isn’t a pretty sight. Well, that is
exactly what happened. My husband is arriving in Brazil today, so we had to
take the 5 hour long bus to meet him at the airport. Since he arrives at 2:45pm,
the only available bus this morning was at 7am.
Last night at our friends’ house, we realized there
really weren’t a lot of options in terms of getting to the bus terminal
downtown. Luan had his computer up and was looking up the schedule as 10 other
people were “discussing” what busses went in the morning and what schedule it
was on because it is a holiday weekend, etc. Finally, it was determined that we
had to catch the bus that left Cassino at 6am and went downtown. (We live on
campus in the back. You have to walk to the front of campus to get student
housing, which is in front of campus. Then you have to walk to the end of the
road to get to the bus stop that takes you to nearby areas/cities. To walk this
length takes about 25-30 minutes.) And, Wesley volunteered to take us to the
bus terminal downtown. Why? I have no clue.
So at 5:45am, Catherine and I headed out to the bus stop.
Once we were near the front of campus, Wesley and Luan met us to take us
downtown. We were informed that they had gone to bed at 4am. How they were up
two hours later is beyond me! But, they were so great about everything, even
carrying our bags! I don’t think paying their bus fare downtown shows enough
gratitude.
