This is getting to be tough. Just as I get to know my host families and create some bond, I have to leave. It’s strange to think that prior casts would only stay with host families for a matter of a few days. At least I had a chance to get to know the Spellmans a bit. I just think that it was so cool how it worked out that I stayed with them. Barb had met my mother at a conference in Boston, where Mom had mentioned about my upcoming participation in UWP. Weeks later, Barb heard from a friend in town that UWP was looking for host families. She made the connection and requested to have me as a host student. Networking can bring about many wonderful things!
So today we traveled 8.5 hours to Minneapolis. My bus date for this trip, Kevin. He and I had been hosted with Wouter in Colorado and there’s a good chance that I won’t see him again until after I finish this tour. I’ve been doing it for years, but I’m still not a fan of saying goodbye. We had a fun bus ride though…attempting to get comfortable and get some semblance of sleep, joking around, sharing stories, and watching RENT (someone had the good idea to bring the video of RENT to show on the bus for those who didn’t understand it when we saw it live at Starlight). I have such great friends here. It’s strange to think that eventually we’ll all be going back off to our corners of the world.
After a long trek, we finally arrived in Minnesota…Julie’s home state. This is going to be an action packed week, I hear. I can’t wait. I am hosted with Yamil with the Lundquist family. Another adventure begins.
