Memorial day in Syracuse

25th of May, Monday

Today is memorial day, honoring all the veterans that fought in last centuries' wars. There are a lot of parades and celebrations on this day all over the US. We didn't go to any of these. Every student has a day off for this holiday, for which we are very happy about.
  We left the camp in the morning. It was rainy and cloudy, there was no point in staying there. We went to  Syracuse instead. I've never been to Syracuse, and to be honest, I didn't see a lot of it today either. We went to the mall to shop for most of the afternoon. The most successful buy of today was my ball dress! Well, I'll probably wear that for senior ball. It's a long, navy blue, strapless dress. I'll post pictures when I'm wearing it. I got it in JCPenney's, I couldn't leave it there for 18 dollars.
  We dropped Abbey off at the Megabus station before 4. She was a going back to NYC. The next time we'll her again will be in June.
  We headed back to Greece, where we arrived before 6ish. We unpacked the car, and our lives continued as they did before. This was a very fun adventure this long weekend, thank you, Kim and Mike!
