7.02.25 - SYRACUSE TRIP

Right before leaving for Bosnia, I decided to go on a 6 day trip to Syracuse, NY with Aldin and Amna. I managed to pull it off without my work finding out. I didn't exactly tell them I was going, I just switched shifts with one of my coworkers and hoped they didn't ask questions.


On our first night, we drove out to Turning Stone Resort Casino. The plan was to watch some UFC fight there, but for some reason they weren't playing it on the screens. Kind of a bummer but honestly the food made up for it. Amna and I ate all of Ado's nachos LOL. I swear they were some of the best nachos I’ve had so far. Don’t worry there was definitely more than enough to share.

The next day we decided to go cherry picking. It looked like most people had already picked all the good cherries, but we still managed to fill up a bucket. It felt so relaxing being out in the orchard. We also went hiking later, which was such a nice break from everything. My god do i need to start exercising again. How am I out of breath after running for a minute?

One of the highlights of the trip for me was playing Chameleon with the group. If you've ever played, you know how funny it gets when you’re trying to act like you know what’s going on while secretly being lost. I was so close to winning a few times too, but in the end I was officially 0 for 3 for fumbling the game. One night we played until we were laughing so hard we could barely breathe. Those moments honestly ended up being my favorite part of the whole trip.

Overall, the trip was really fun getting to just hang out together. Syracuse wasn't somewhere I ever thought of a must visit trip, but it ended up being such a good time.
