Spring Break in Panama
This semester, I am enrolled in a Travel Narrative writing class, and one of our assignments was to write a "letter home" about a recent travel experience we had. I chose to write it on my trip to Central America, and here is the outcome. Hope you like it!
Dear Mom & Dad:
It's always bothered me when people that do absolutely nothing display a sense of entitlement. Like a few days ago, when I strolled out of the airport with Max, Paul, and my new friend Chet to catch a cab to Casco Viejo, and some seemingly kind gentleman took my duffel bag and placed it in the back seat of the taxi, a mere two feet away. Any normal individual would assume this man was the cab driver just going about his business and doing his job, but once I took my seat in the back of the Hyundai, this same man reopened the car door and said, "you have anything for me?" Staring at him

Transylvania, Romania Oct. 1-4
Thursday, Oct. 1st.
I arrived back to my flat in Budapest at around 9:30am. I was very cranky, having not gotten THAT much sleep on the train back. I think it may have had something to do with the sleeping pills I took during my hangover, and the hallucinations that proceeded to occur. I don't remember ever laying back down for a quick nap, as the roommates woke up and wanted to hear all about what happened.
Sooner than later, I had to pack up my things and head over to the meeting spot to catch our bus. I showered, but still somehow felt very dissheveled as we made our way, stopping at a sandwich shop to pick up some food for the road. Having not ate in what felt like forever, I grabbed three of them.
On the excursions held by API, we hire a driver and a large van/small bus capable of holding 17 people, so there only being 7 students, Reka, and 3 other tag alongs, we had plenty of room to spread out, and I opted for a row of 2 seats all for myself.
The drive was about 8-9 hours through the open grasslands of Eastern Hungary and the rolling hills and mountains of Northwestern Romania, before we arrived at our destination of Cluj-Napoca (Romanian) or Koloszvar (Hungarian). The city has 2 different names because of the large minority of ethnic Hungarians who live all over Transylvania. We were being accomodated in a fairly
