Quest to See the World

It’s 7:49 and they are still sleeping, but it’s the perfect time to get some blogging in. I didn’t think that the time change has been that difficult to adjust to until it got to be around 8pm and all of a sudden I felt sooooo tired and I wasn’t able to write last night because I just wanted to crash.

Ok, back to the first day…we got to the hotel around 2pm and decided to check the place out a little, but had no idea of anything because none of us have read too much before coming here (I know, what were we thinking?!?!?!). We checked out the map and decided to walk to the river and hop on one of the boats that runs up and down as public transportation. They stop at each pier along the way and you can get off at any stop, it’s around $.50  each. Ok, so we found the pier, bought the ticket and [read on]
