YALE

Our first 24 hours up north have been jam-packed & so fun! After flying Dallas-St. Louis-Newark, then taking a bus from Grand Central to New Haven, we finally arrived to our first destination – Yale! We realized that we had been in a total of 5 states over the whole time span, cray cray.

So I’m going to post a picture diary of my trip thus far; millions of thanks to my study abroad friend Jake for giving us the grand tour of Yale!!! : )
 We hopped on our Southwest flight bright & early @ 7AM. This is actually a picture of us landing in Newark, but you get the idea.
 Meet my new friend Mehare! This woman was the chattiest person I've ever encountered, although super sweet. She talked my ear off for about 2 hours, so much for my nap...
 After arriving in Newark, we got our ticket to Grand Central Station

In Grand Central, people errywhereeee

 Ticket for New Haven, Connecticut! Ready to see Jake & Yale.
 We got to sit on this lovely train for 2 hours...good thing V was there with me.
 At Yale! So Yale is made up of colleges, & students live in their chosen college for all 4 years. Jonathan Edwards is where Jake is. PS this school is gorgeous.
 We ate with the Yale-ies, & the food was 10x better than the BLUU (not surprising, haha). It's so cute too
 Day 2: We got a tour of campus. This is V looking super chic & smart - oh wait, she already is
 Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library - holds original Shakespeare writings & other famous stuff
 Here's a copy of the Gutenberg Bible - the first book printed! They turn a page a day so that each page is worn the same way.
 Jake took us to a great froyo place after touring campus. Apple pie + pumpkin pie = happy b
We ended our Yale experience with jumping pictures, of course! New Haven was a blast; Veronica & I are excited to get a taste of the city now :)

abrazos y besos, b
