The Journey

Ariel’s trip to Traverse and back

The Beginning of the Middle (aka Day1) June 14, 2009

Today after 6 and a half hours in the car, we arrived in beautiful Traverse City. The lovely Lara and I managed to get everything to just fit into her car. It was a tight squeeze, but we made it. I had a great time getting to know my roommate better.The trip went by very quickly, we got a bit confused about our directions toward the end, but we made it eventually.

Northwestern Michigan’s campus is pretty small, but I have yet to explore most of it. We’re just a 5 minute walk from the beach where we ate dinner tonight. I have a feeling I’ll be spending quite a bit of time there.

Tomorrow we will be heading to church and getting to know one another a bit better.

As far as internet goes, we have it, but have been encouraged to use it minimally. I can’t promise to post every day, but I’ll do my best. Things may get pretty busy, but at the very least I’ll post two times weekly.

It’s beautiful here, and pictures will come just as soon as I can get some time with my camera. Sorry this couldn’t be longer, I’m exhausted, but I have a lot to tell. Perhaps tomorrow. For now, it’s time for bed.
