Friend or foe?

I haven't quite decided yet, if I really like "backpacking" yet....I guess it's a friend right now because it's Betsy's. It's her beloved backpack, and she insisted that I bring it with me this summer...and going to New Haven was it's first trip.

I've never traveled with a backpack before; I've always gone for one of those wheelie things, or if I'm going minimal, a duffel bag. I don't know. I'm not entirely decided. This thing is like a small little child, and it's like a big black hole...so to find anything and to keep anything from getting crumbled, you have to put everything in its own little bag....which adds to the weight.

Anyway, it fared well on the way to New Haven. 2 trains and 2 subways.

Haven't quite seen New Haven yet, I got in late last night, and I'm waiting for my friend to get back from class for lunch.
