So I got into Louisville at 230 am and didn’t know anyone or have a place to stay. I went to a Mcdonalds and used the free Wi-fi and got on couch surfing. This is what I sent Wendy…
You see I don’t have a car so I have to get by with what ever way possible. And one of those ways is by freight train. Kind of like into the wild. Anyway I left St Louis 32 hours ago and my train just got in. I thought the train was going to Indianapolis and had places set up there on CS but after I woke up from a nap I realized I was in the wrong state.
I’m hanging at the Mcdonald’s on 3rd street for the night but tomorrow I was wondering if I could crash on your couch. Let me know, and if its not cool I understand its really last minute
20 minutes later Wendy show up.
Oh and this is funny too. I got this message from another couchsurfer….
Sorry your wild transportation method got screwed up, but I believe you ended up in a MUCH better state. We don’t like Indiana in Louisville. :)
