librarian the savior

so we hung out in the library at the university laval until we were kicked out at closing time. we were going to resort to the hotel across the way and spend a few hundred dollars on it. we walked to the desk and asked the librarian if she knew of any cheap hotels in the area, as all hostels were booked in quebec city. she informed us of lavals residence. apparently you can stay in the university for alot cheaper than any hostel, anywhere. so we stayed in the residencey of the university and cooked ramen in the huge 25 stove communal kitchen. there was an amazing old elevator with a lever that you got to use! and there were students everywhere.
caught our rideshare to montreal, picked up my amtrak ticket at granaventure metro and now in the grand bibliotheque killing time, and waiting for another place to stay.
i leave tomorrow at 930 am, it is a 10.5hr train ride to penn station. i am staying in a hostel in the chealsea district.
dave bought his greyhound ticket to winnipeg where he will be hitchiking to calgary after a few days there.
i have been with dave everyday, nearly every minute for the passed month or more. it is going to be strange to be on my own again, especially in nyc. however, i am glad that when we depart there is a long refreshing travel ahead of us.
