Today was a mostly boring day, as has been most of my week. Until this afternoon.
I should really blog about the people I meet on a daily instead of all the nonsense I usually blog about.
Anyways, after a walk around, I finally went to the park, it's like my go to place, a second home really.
I just aimed for my usual spot on the dock by the river && I saw from afar this sort of boat thing. I'm thinking it looks like some sort of homeless person raft to sell things, but no. Turns out it's this group of out of college guys that decided to make their own raft made of wood, scraps, stereo foam and other sorts and parts heading out from Vermont at the beginning of August to their final destination, NYC.
To them it's been day 17 or something, they marked it on a log (which is part of the boat). Then they stayed at the docks for a while and talked. They all gave up shaving and gave me their blogs, emails & facebook names.
If I remember correctly, their names were Mike, Josiah, Dean, Felix and Devin...? I could be wrong but I drew what I remembered, and I'm sure that THAT didn't fail me. (I also drew on some of their things as a personal souvenir, I hope they liked it.)
I was talking to them for a while (bombarding them with questions, I can't help it) and hung around, that even people that were curious enough to ask them questions, thought I was traveling with them.
In all seriousness, if I did not live with my parents, I would've gone with in a heartbeat.
I think it's in my nature. Besides, these guys looked really cool.
adventure is in my blood? haha.
..and I thought today would be a boring day.
