My first adventures start in Seattle at the airport. My flight was delayed an hour causing me to have to change my connecting flight to Manchester to a flight that landed at around 10pm. This made me change my plans to taking a taxi straight to my hostel, instead of taking a train and then walking. Which ended up being easier and probably much safer. But was a little more expensive. I didn't sleep much the first night there in my hostel. All the noises from the streets of Manchester and the sound of thudding bass from the club across the street didn't make for the best sleeping conditions. But in the morning I made some toast, had some tee, gathered my gear, got directions to Picadilly train station, and checked out. Walking the streets of Manchester to Picadilly reminds me a lot of downtown Seattle, the buildings have an older look, but it has a very similar look and atmosphere. Arriving at Picadilly with no trouble, I got my tickets and proceeded to find a place to sit and watch people, and the departure board for my train since I arrived about an hour early. Once it was time for my train to arrive, I went to Platform 14 and waited for a couple minutes till my train entered the station. Trains are most enjoyable to ride, being able to watch the towns and country side pass by is both relaxing and exciting. After quite a few stops I arrived in Carnforth and was picked up by the school. I spent the rest of Saturday meeting my three room mates who are all rad guys, and exploring the school.
Sunday we had church in the morning, which was an awesome first service. After lunch I played a football (soccer) game for about two hours. My team won! haha Then we had an evening service and the went to bed after hang out for a bit.
Today we had an informational meeting all morning. And now we have the afternoon off.
That's it for my first adventures.
I love you all,
God Bless.
