Yesterday I ate with Mekenzie, her boyfriend Stewart and friend Kelly at a great place called "The Penguin." I got to enjoy an amazing burger then followed that up with a chocolate dipped chocolate ice cream cone - the first "dipped" ice cream cone I've ever had! :D
I've learned quickly that Charlotte is a "small" big city. I wasn't sure what to expect when I came here, but I'd say this is pretty close. There's potential here. Today I will expore some.
I wanted to point out an important factor for this trip: I'm on a $10 a day budget. That means that if I spend more than $10 one day I have to make up for it the next. I've tried REALY hard to stick to the budget and I'm feeling pretty good about it. The less I spend per day, the longer and farther this trip will go. I don't completely deny myself, but I don't splurge too much either. I've found that CS hosts will offer breakfast to get your day started and sometimes other meals as well. But peanut butter sandwiches have become a staple for me, that's for sure. I spent about $15 yesterday so today is going to be spent catching up. Looks like oatmeal and pb sandwiches for this girl today!
