Too Much Time in the Car - by Talia





Too much time in the car
By Talia

We are finally in Oaxaca. It was a long trip and we had a lot of arguments but otherwise it was really good.

We got to watch movies, we got to play on our Nintendo DS, we got to listen to music and talk to each other. I liked Virginia because we got to see Alex and Liam’s grandparents and I liked Tennessee because we got to swim and go out to dinner. The next day we went to the Martin Luther King civil rights museum and we learned what Martin Luther King was like. We went on the real bus that Rosa Parks went on and we saw where Martin Luther King was killed. I liked Houston because the place that our cousins Sheila and Isaac live was really nice and we went to a really nice Vietnamese restaurant.

The next day it was really fun because we went to Shlitterbahn, a really big waterpark with an awesome wave pool and this awesome waterslide thing because you went side to side and I went off the side – caught some air - and then I got back on the thing. The next day we went to a desert campout and there was this awesome spring that had a pool that we went in. We saw big catfish on the bottom of the pool. Then we crossed the border and we waited there for half an hour and signed all this stuff. It was pretty boring. I thought it was going to be worse because I’d seen a bad movie about it.

Then we went to Ciudad Juarez and we went to a priest’s and nun’s house. It was scary because they said that burglars came. After that we went to Randy’s and Sagrario’s house in Chihuahua. It was a pretty nice view. Then we met up with Ruby and Arlo and headed off to Copper Canyon. It was fun to see Ruby and Arlo – they’re the people we go camping with every summer and we’re going to spend the whole year with them in Oaxaca.

Copper canyon was really fun and we met these really annoying kids – Android and Rachel but Jackie was nice. The Copper Canyon view was awesome but we went on this really boring hike for 350 miles I say. The villages were pretty boring and all the girls wore dresses.

Then we went to this weird hotel and Arlo and Mommy were sick. After that, we went to another hotel in Zacatecas. It was pretty nice and we went into this awesome mine. We went in this little train thing a ma jobber and I thought it was going to collapse. Little kids used to work in the mine.

Then we went to Guanajuato. Attacking earwigs came into our room, but the hotel was really cool. Then we got to Oaxaca! It was so good because I was bored of the car like heck. We saw Tilly the dog and little puppies. For all the people that are coming, our new house is real small so beware. Nice writing. Goodbye.
