Today was a really great and fun day, but it is also a really sad day. Because it is officially the last day of the East Coast Trip 2016. The day was started with a trip back to Philadelphia from New Jersey! It was a decent two hour ride on the bus, I tried to sleep but as always.. I couldn't, I don't understand why, but I just can't sleep on the bus, I need to be extremely tired to do so. Anyway, back to the trip, our first stop in Philadelphia was the Reading Terminal Market, it was one of the amazing place to eat that I've ever been to! There were plenty of choices to pick, varies from all over the world, well not really all over the world but, you get what I meant : \ . Our bus driver, Paul gave us suggestion to get the Philly special Cheese steak! And so I did, and it was AAAAWEESSOOOMMEEE!! Well , not as awesome as my grandmas food but still it was quite awesome, highly recommended! After we finished filling our stomach with some awesome quality food from the market, we continue our journey to the Rocky Steps, it was actually staircases to an art museum that was used in a legendary movie named Rocky, I haven't watched all of them so I'm not sure which Rocky it is. As we got down from the bus we were all running together to the steps as fast as we could to the top trying to recreate one of the scene from the movie, it was hilarious and so much fun!! After we were all catching back our breaths we went to the Rocky statue and pose the same style with it, like we're a strong boxer, who had been nominated three times for Osars!!! Lol.
Satisfied with the pictures we went on to the Capitol of Pennsylvania located in downtown Philadelphia! I was really blown away and amazed by the structures and the sculptures of, in and out of the building, and thanks to the tour they gave us, I learned some cool facts about the history of the capitol building itself and about Pennsylvania. After finished with the Pennsylvania history class 101 we finally made our way back to the hotel.
Now, this is my favorite part of the day, on our way to the hotel, Bruna gave us 'Award Sheets' to fill, it has some cool and silly award categories and we got to vote for one guy and girl for each category. Arriving at the hotel we got some free time to get ourselves dressed up for dinner and get our luggage organize. Sorry for being so detail, can't help it :))) lol. DINNER TIME! It was one of my fave dinner of all time, cause it wasn't just dinner, it was also 'get away' party, I guess.. And it was the last dinner and event we had together as a group in this awesome East Coast Trip. We ate some awesome well made Pizzas and we announced all of the awards after we finished eating. Everybody exchanged pins with each other and some even did arm wrestling, everybody was so hyped and yes.. Fred did the arm wrestling too! It was a lot of fun! By the end of the party, Bruna told us about our flight schedules and how each of us are gonna get to the airport, some people even have flights at 5 am and gotta be at the lobby by 3 am, that is madness! After all of the happy yet emotional chats and speeches we headed back to the hotel, and Bruna gave us a survey sheet for us to fill, oh also that night we didn't have curvue, how awesome was that!!?
It's been a really GREAT trip, and it is by far the best two weeks that I had in my life that I will never ever forget. I had so much laughter, smile, new bonds of friendships, and definitely new valuable experience that I could use in my life. I believe nothing is eternal in this world, and so the trip has to come to an end. To all of the coordinators, Fred, Bruna, Kiersten and Doug, Thank you very much for making this trip run smoothly! And to all of you, friends, bros, and girls, the end of this trip doesn't mean its the end of our friendships, hope we can maintain our communication and be friends for life!
