Day 4: Day on the Greyhound (draft)

Day 4 of trip: travelling from DC to Sweet Briar, VA (what an adventure!!!)

I left very early to take the metro to the Greyhound station. What a day this was! I got to the station at 9 to take a bus to leave for Sweet Briar, VA at 10 am. Now if you’ve taken Greyhound/Jefferson before, you know what this type of bus experience can be like. First, we waited an hour lined up to get on the bus, and then we were told our driver was sick and that they were finding a new one for us. A guy showed up an hour later. By the time we loaded the bus, it was noon and 2 hours after the time we should have left. Unfortunately, the driver did not know the route and what should have taken us 5 minutes to get out of DC ended up taking 45 minutes! He also took several wrong turns during our trip. Luckly there was a man on the bus who had been a passenger on this route over 20 times so he helped get us to our destinations.
