End of the trip

All right. The last day of our 45-day trip. We woke up early and took a collectivo to Playa Del Carmen. In playa, I bought a pair of nice leather shoes. Except they are a bit small. They didn't have bigger ones, though. :D I will donate them to a charity, I guess. We did a good job getting to the airport on time and everything went on well. Sitting at a restaurant table, we enjoyed a stylish yogurt-bread lunch. The staff promptly asked us to leave :D The only thing I messed was leaving a sunscreen in my backpack. They took it.
NYC welcomed us by unwelcoming change in temperature. Funny thing happened: when I walked up to the immigration desk and handed the policeman my documents, he said "Čo tu robíš, Vojtěchu?" (what are you doing here, Vojtech?) He was Slovak. For those who don't know, Czech and Slovak languages are very similar. We spent the night at the JFK airport  - we had to catch a bus to Albany in the morning. We had a truly american dinner - McDonalds followed by KFC and slept on the floor just like homeless guys do. We weren't the only ones. Next to us was camping a group of five blond girls from Sweden who were headed exactly to the places we came from! We talked a bit, I gave them an experienced traveler :P advice and we parted.
Air train, metro, waiting at Penn Station and walking to the bus for Albany.
We arrived to Albany at about 10 am. It was FREEZING! There were two options: taking an expensive train which was coming in 5 minutes, or waiting outside for the cheap bus. It was really freezing and we wanted to come to Union as soon as possible, so we decided to take the bus (good logic, huh?).
We asked some people to be sure in which direction we want to go, so it was pretty straightforward. However, it was not so straightforward after 15 minutes in the bus when we figured out we were going in the wrong direction, away from Albany and Schenectady. We got off and waited for another bus, according to the bus driver's directions. No bus was coming and eventually we got on the bus with the same driver when he was returning to do another lap. After that, it was fine. One more transfer and we arrived in Schenectady shortly after the noon and walked in the freeze to the college. I took a shower and went to upperclass, to meet aaaal the other guys :)
That's it! It was AWESOME!!
