Another crazy bus weekend!

I visited some friends up at the University in Seattle over the weekend, and we sure had some fun bus times.

Since my friends are students, they used their U-Pass to ride the bus, and I was always jealous of them but now I have one too, thanks to this project. It was quite a treat.

But on Thursday, I rode the bus to run some errands with a friend. She is a lot more social than I am, and on the trip we met a couple new people. One she offered candy to [he declined] and other conversed about television and manga with her. The bus ride and day adventure gave us a lot more time to get to know each other than we normally would have. Even though the wind was cold, the trip was worth the hardship. It still sometimes surprises me to see so many young people [high schoolers] riding the bus because I never did.

Back to the weekend; there was only one time we got lost, and decided to just head back to their dorm. We didn't know how to get to Capitol Hill [which is not very far from campus, but we didn't know how far or in what direction]. The map on the bus stops were not helpful and only said a handful of buses go through that route, when later I saw the 49 goes through Capitol Hill! But we did go to the international district and West Lake Center.

The Tacoma-Seattle and Seattle-Tacoma buses are quite handy, and really do not take much more time than if one were to drive.
