Road Trip


Part of the college experience has to be the road trip. During Labor Day Weekend, a group of McConnell Scholars and a friend ventured to Niagara Falls. As you could expect, Niagara Falls was beautiful; but what made the trip were the random stops and the random trip to Canada, without passports. The first bright idea we had was to leave Louisville at a time that we could watch the sunrise on Lake Erie. This idea was great, beside the fact that there are a lot of bugs on Lake Erie and I don’t like bugs. Second best bright idea that we had was to buy this 90 dollar tour pass that turned out to be pointless. I won’t name the person who had the idea, because oSha gets very mad when we talk about it. Last and best bright idea was going to Canada.  Our tour guide lady told us that if we could somehow get into Canada, that the United States would have no choice but to let us back into the country; although they may detain is for a few hours.  Yeah we got detained for half an hour in Canadian immigration, but the experience was well worth it. All I will say is that I have plenty of stories to tell my grandchildren one day!
