August 26 Standing at the station. Feeling sad( Then Regina walks by, and the boy she was staying with)))) He's her friend, or maybe more than just a friend) But he's definitely not a couchsurfer)))) We sort of met, and we all said, "Nice to meet you"))) But this boy was looking at me with clear anger)) Well, of course, I lured his beloved away on a trip) Must have ruined all his plans))) It wasn't my fault, she agreed on her own))) Forgot to mention! When we were leaving Derek's house, helicopters were circling in the sky! Derek: "Do you know why they're flying here?" Me: "???" Derek: "Looking for escaped criminals" Me: O_O!!!!!! We bought a bus ticket, and the station worker who sold it to us reminded me more of a mean Soviet grandma than a kind American lady)))))) Finally, the bus arrived))) While we were waiting in line to board, a guy walks up to us and says in Russian, "Hi!"))) I was so unaccustomed to there being any Russians nearby that Regina and I just opened our mouths and grinned like idiots))) Turns out he was also a Work and Travel USA participant from the city of brides famous all over Russia - Ivanovo!)))) We checked our luggage, and then chatted with him on the bus))))) At the stop in Wilmington, DE, I was carefully watching my luggage through the window so it wouldn't get stolen!!))) And then I look, everyone had picked up their bags and there was a red suitcase left behind! I looked closer - it was mine! Looks like they took it out! I bolted outside, shoved it back into the bus further in so no one would take it again!!! So, keep a very close and careful eye on your things!))) As we approached Philadelphia, the first thing that caught my eye was a beautiful bridge!))) sigh... We arrived at the station, and Polina met us there!))) A typical French girl!)) How can I describe her to you) She is very relaxed, and when she speaks, she really draws out her words))) She lives literally a couple of blocks from the station, so we walked there on foot)) We went to her place, her apartment is so cool)))) And a beautiful view from the huge windows!) Regina and I slept in the living room, as expected) On the sofa) While we were drinking tea and getting used to Polina's accent, attention(!), classic genre: a Frenchman, her roommate, walks out of the bathroom in just a white towel, completely unaware that there might be anyone else here besides Polina!))) His stunned face was funny enough on its own, despite that white towel, which he immediately started holding up so it wouldn't fall, and quickly retreated to his room) And time to sleeep) It's already one in the morning after all!)
