Rome!

I just have to accept work wants me in NoVa and I pay too much for a NYC apartment to only be there 2 days a week

Sometimes you have to accept the fact you will lose your voice On the holiday train

Wait we share a birthday?? Happy birthday!

Sad my rail pass adventure is ending in less than a week but I am going to make the most of the time I can in St. Louis and Kansas City while I can. But I also just have to think. I have done so much to get here!

Same on the priv front that is what I mainly doing but I am better at checking this site then my main over there

But also seriously why do I always wake up when we stop. I can sleep while we are stopped or while we move but I can’t do them together I wake up.

As day 2 comes to my solo Rail pass adventure I am feeling pretty excited about everything! Got some new books for reading on the CZ. I enjoyed the trails and rails program on the cardinal. (And the delays from weather got me more sleep by myself) overall I am glad I am pushing myself to do this

Yeah! It is interesting how we first chose to settle into cities and expand them. Vs how now decades later we view them in such a different way than before.

Nice! Yeah I think it seems like a lot are clustered in certain areas and either you have been there or haven’t. So a lot that I have missed is cause I just haven’t been to that part of the country yet

This made me actually go through the list again and I totally missed one place. But it really helps that I have been to a lot of random NJ cities with my family which most people haven’t. If this was a list of the top cities currently I think I would have less.

29? I lost count somewhere. But I am going to be adding more this month! Both in pass through and in full stop in the city.

Riding the Port Jervis Line: the bus version! Makes me miss her (my trips on the Pennsylvanian to and from Tyrone)

Exactly! I always enjoyed the community that comes from being a transit rider and to have this ability to seek out or coincidently come across something like this is always part of the fun!

They really should! I always find them beautiful and fun to spot!

Honestly a last min trip to London wasn’t something I was expecting to do this weekend but I fully enjoyed it. I just need to survive the flight back home to fix my sleep

AND DONE. 5:50:28. I will do a recap when my phone is not almost dead

Finally on the last bus for this run! Lovely route 20 bringing me through Dorothea Dix back to main campus

Still waiting on the 20 so 5.5 hours I did estimate 6. Does not feel like it but I also got to see some special goRaleigh and goTriangle liveries today

It will also be cold waiting for it. That way hopefully by the time I get to textiles the 20 has looped back around since it is just the one bus!

I am very bad at updating but 51 done on the 42! Originally I was going to wait for the 43 to meet up with the 20 to get the LAST pieces I need but I realized with all buses coming to wait at textiles I should just walk to textiles to stay warm since I would be repeating area with that ride

Passio go is now down… and I am more behind than I would like to be right now. Plus side is that my friend brought food at my layover. (I can not ride anything in a full loop I must layover which worked out cause I needed to eat and drop off things I realize I did not need)

Took forever but finally on 60 did not realize it went into the vet complex

I think my fave part of this is seeing the different parts of the school that I haven’t seen before from taking routes I didn’t use as a student. I get see all the buildings and the different time periods they were built in

Well I did have a extra 20 min but route 50 was against me and was bunched up not in my favor but I still got on ahead of schedule so exciting!!

Starting to think I misread a schedule somewhere and gained a extra 20 min than planned

This is the first time since I waited for the 20 that I have been waiting for a bus for a while because I am not at a time point

Okay I have been on the 30 for a second and will be on for a second longer. This is one of the routes that was hard to plan around because it didn’t really over lap in a lot of places. The routes that tend to run in the summer do that because they are so integral for the system to run

They really said bunch those 41s they are only a stop a part. But it is really good that this route has 4 buses in service during peak times!

Rome doing hands like a child is asking to be picked up to the nc state bell tower

I fully forgot to get a photo of the bell tower when I passed it whoops. Have this photo that my friend took of me being silly with it. Also they are turning this place into a raising canes

A route 20 Wolfline labeled Spring Hill at the textiles stop

Here is my 20. Currently on my 41 to Hill library! I took a class in the room that used to be the old movie theatre. I was told by the prof the new one was in Witherspoon but I have no idea where it is in the building
