A desolate, endless wasteland of flat grassy plains, the monotony of which was only interrupted by the occasional road sign, was all to be seen as I drearily stared out our black station wagon’s dirty window. The huge expanse of sky above was completely free of clouds and the sun beat down on our car mercilessly.

Boston. I ate half a bagel and I was ready to conquer the world, or at least London. I finally arrived across the pond and stepped my feet on the ground at 9 am. I hopped in my rental car and started towards my hotel, because I am ready to sleep. Jet lag had gotten to me. I finally arrived at Hostel 639.
