Day Six · Dauphin
Island is beautiful, even at the crack of dawn. We saw the beach at
sunrise, then herded back into the bus for three more hours. By now,
I've mastered the art of sleeping on the bus.
We visited a cattle ranch today, but the best part of the trip was
a visit to Auburn University. Auburn rocks! So far, my favorite stop
on the entire trip.
Day Seven · We're
headed home, and my body knows it. I'm ready to get off this bus for
good.
The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders and Exhibitors Association provided
us a lunch our mothers would have been proud of. Fried chicken and mashed
potatoes were gourmet foods that day. And no crawfish.
Back home again in Indiana. I'm happy to be in familiar territory and
almost home to my own bed. The week has been full of making new friendships
and strengthening old ones, creating valuable industry contacts, experiencing
new places and new foods, and encountering a few unexpected surprises.
It's a trip that I'll be able to look back on as a highlight of my undergraduate
career.
Maybe I saw too much of the bus seatback in front of me and too little
of the beach, but it was definitely a spring break to remember.

spring break trip.
