Question purposed: Is the river walk worth the money? Answer: I believe so. Even though the walk is slightly sketchy in the sense of unfamiliar people EVERYWHERE, it really isn't that bad when you're with others. It was actually really fun going down to the river with half our class. Bonds were formed and I felt everyone got along very well. Bonding experience!
What did I see? It was actually really cool walking downtown with everyone and kind of seeing the town in new eyes. Even though I'm from here and I see downtown on a somewhat regular basis, when I went down with the class it was like seeing it with fresh eyes. I had to actually experience the place and not take it from granted. We saw wedding chapels, casinos, bars, a movie theater, coffee shops, and even a guy kayaking on the river.
I think the river represents the clean part of our town. The constantly flowing river seems to wash the scum away from the dirty casinos and the filth from downtown. It was a refreshing feeling to escape the clutter of downtown and to experience nature in the heart of town.
As for my role, I believe it as a scholar since I am connected to the town through the university now. I feel as if the town sees me as a student but also as a scholar with a bright future.
Yay exercise!
I'm kind of wishing that I walked a little further up the river.
ReplyDeleteIf it got more beautiful than the dirty brown water at the end, I would have loved to see that.
I'd like to bond with people...very closely.
