So we made it to Grand Rapids after two days of train travel, which went by pretty fast, considering I read two books and started two others. It's a nice small little town that has a nice collection of little shops and some museums, so there will definitely be plenty to do.
It kind of reminds me of a small city in Canada, but maybe that's because half the things have the name Ottawa since that is one of the main streets through the city.
I read the book I got in Kansas City, entitled The Warrior Heir, which is part of a trilogy that was on display at Barnes and Noble. It intrigued me so I bought it instead of getting The Hunger Games, which I will read at some point too since I heard they are really good. Well I got through the first and second book of the trilogy and I'm halfway through the third. Each book got better with the last, and I find the story pretty captivating. It's not amazing; the writing is decent and it's geared towards a younger audience, but I'm still enjoying them. On the complete other end I also started reading Pride and Prejudice, which, while it's slow at first, I'm slowly getting into.
A man just ran by on the street wearing no shoes or socks...hmm...
Also this coffee shop is really trendy. It has a basic limited menu that is just coffee and tea, one size, and instead of a computer they use ipads as registers. My brother Joe would hate this place.
Also I'm currently drinking the spiciest chai latte I've ever had.
Oh! I was also totally running late this morning and literally ran after the bus to catch it so I could make it down here haha. Unfortunately to get to downtown is not really walk-able since the rail yard is right next to a highway, so I'll be relying on the bus here.
There is no show today so I get the day to explore. Well time to go, I'm meeting some of the clowns for lunch. More to come soon!
