So today was the first day we got to the hostel. The hostel we’re staying at, Chamounix Mansion Youth Hostel, is pretty interesting. It looks like an old haunted house. When we first got here, we could NOT open the doors for the life of us. They each have a code and are really difficult, so it took us forever to get into our rooms. We have one outlet for all ten of the girls to charge our phones and two showers! We had a simple dinner, just pasta. There’s a cat in the house that keeps coming in our room. No one knows whose it is or what its name is. We were planning on not doing anything tomorrow, but we found out that we can’t be here from 11am – 4:30pm everyday, so we’ll be mildly homeless for some time tomorrow. We’re going to explore Philadelphia though. We played a name game called name tag that was pretty awesome for everyone to learn each others’ names better. We also got our ASB shirts today that are a pretty teal color. We went grocery shopping and spent less than $200 for food for the next four days, which is WAY below our budget, so hopefully we’ll go to a nice dinner at some point later in the week. We just found out it’s daylight savings time, so we’re going to lose an hour of sleep unfortunately L Which means we’re going to sleep now. Goodnight!
