This morning we woke up excited to finally get to coventry and not being living out of a suitcase! After getting ready for the day and packing up our things, we went downstairs to find coffee and breakfast prepared for us by the Beach Hut owner. What a great guy!! He gave us some directions to the train and we lugged our bags a few miles to make it with just 7 minutes to spare. Close one! Even though the train ride took about four and a half hours, it was a nice ride! The countryside of Wales was absolutely beautiful!! We also played many games of Estimate. Ha the five of us all had different names for the card game, so we have renamed it Dublin for the trip.
Views from the train:
When arriving in Birmingham, we stepped out of the train to find our Coventry director, Neville. Together we jumped onto another train to Coventry. We have arrived!! It was so nice to unpack and begin getting settled into our apartment for the semester. The five of us CSB/SJU students and a Coventry student that was at CSB/SJU this fall for the exchange all share an apartment. We each get our own room which is beyond perfect!! There is also 3 bathrooms and a kitchen. My only complaint is that there isn't a common room for us all to hang out. Oh well, I am happy!
In the evening we went to dinner at a pub and then later we went to a different pub for a drink. We didn't last long, we were exciting to get back and sleep in our own beds.
