Journal Entry #6

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I woke up at Benny’s casa in Bala Cynwood, the burbs of Philly, and we went to hit some balls at a local driving range/batting cage. It was a lot of fun, I had not done that in years!
Later on Benny’s family had a Bar-B-Q, and we sat around drinking some Yuengling beers and eating for a little while. I found out that Benny’s P’s are excellent cooks, and I enjoyed the grilled cuts of turkey, hot dogs, and sausages immensely. After saying our goodbyes, we loaded up the car and headed up to NYC. Pretty uneventful trip, but we did hit some traffic on the Jersey turnpike.
We finally arrived in Long Island, where Benny is going to school at Hofstra.


BENNY BOY

This area consists of a lot of neighborhoods, with houses sitting close together, and cars lining the tiny little streets. People are out at night sitting on their front porches, just talking and playing cards and stuff. Pretty uneventful night, we went to some diner that was pretty expensive and definitely not worth the buck. Went to sleep around two so that we could get up early and go explore the city today. So right now I am waiting for Benny to get ready, and then we are off to do some sightseeing over in the Big Apple! More later...
