My Trip to Atlantic City

By G. V. Umadevi

On June 4 I went to Atlantic City with the Y. The journey was very pleasant. We left the Y. at 8 AM to the Washington Heights YM-YWHA. From there we changed to another bus and left at 9 AM. On the way I was unable to see the scenery due to foggy conditions. I was very chilly too. It took exactly 2 hours and 10 minutes to reach Atlantic City.

As soon as I arrived I was issued a Resorts Bus Bonus card to use in the casino. I won $91 using my Bus Bonus card. Afterward, I went outside the casino to eat something. To my amazed surprise I found thousands of seagulls very beautiful with red lips and black eyes flying all over the place and even on my head. They were demanding food with their awful voices and grabbing things from people's hands. They were constantly talking to each other and to us!! I loved those birds very much.

I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Atlantic Ocean from each and every floor of the big shopping mall. I also saw a huge carved elephant covered with colorful precious gems. It was very beautiful. It was in an Asian store. I also saw a lot of people driving others to assorted destinations. I enjoyed the boardwalk even though it was very cold and cloudy. I walked miles to see the different casinos. At 5:30 PM we left Atlantic City and reached the Nagle Ave. Y. at 7:30 PM. After dropping off the members there were reached our own Y safe and sound.
