USA
Well then, that’s it, tomorrow I get my final Greyhound bus (good riddance) to LA, and then I leave for Fiji on the 20th September. America has been a lot of fun, it really has, but I’m happy to move on too: I can’t wait to be in another country, somewhere really new and exciting. Fall is just starting to edge in here. We got cold on the beach before the sun went down on Sunday, and the leaves on the trees are starting to fall. I won’t get to see it hit in full force but this is the first time I’ve ever seen a season change in another country and it’s made me feel quite poetic.
The hostel in San Diego has been fantastic. I haven’t really been out to see the city much at all because I’ve spent so much time hanging out with a really great bunch of people, but over the past few days I’ve had to say goodbye to them all and now there’s just me and a girl named Kat left. I leave tomorrow and Kat will be left here to make new friends. It’s weird how many people you have to say goodbye to when you hostel. Thanks to the wonderful invention that is Facebook, we’ll all still be in touch though. I wonder if we’ll ever manage to meet up?
So, goodbye America, you big cartoon version of the rest of the world. You know it’s going to be a crazy country when you can get arrested for crossing the road and guns are legal. Quote of the trip so far? “So, you’re British? Have you ever held a firearm?”
