 * We went to Canada. We did this because after this year we don’t have a permission to stay in the U.S anymore. So, we had to go out of the U.S and change to tourists that come to tour America. We drove an hour and then we arrived to the Canadian frontier. They took our passports checked them and brought them back. We did a U turn and wanted to get back home but we arrived to the American frontier. They told us to go out of the car and to give them our keys. We did it and then they told us to go to a little building. Inside this building a guard asked for our story. We told him the story. It was a hard story. After he understood our story he said that it is impossible because they can’t make sure that we get out of the U.S in time. My dad thought it was lost and we couldn’t go to Texas but then he had an idea. He asked the guard if it’s okay to live them my dad’s aunt address and he said it was okay; but the problem was that we didn’t know the address. We tried to call my dad’s aunt but we didn’t know her phone number ether. We didn’t know what to do until my dad had another idea, he had an envelope in the car that he wanted to send to his aunt, and on the envelope we had her address! Finely we got home. Now we are tourists! **

 * We left Ann Arbor at four p.m. and started driving. The car had problems so we went to a garage and we waited there an hour. Then we drove seven hours to arrive to Kentucky. When we arrived to Cave City in Kentucky it was 2:00 a.m. but at the motel’s clock it was 1:00 a.m., Kentucky time is an hour earlier than Michigan. We slept until the next morning. **
 * We woke up at 8:00 a.m. and went to eat the motel’s Breakfast. Then we tried to find a grocery store to buy food for lunch. We passed by four antique stores but we didn’t find a grocery store. At the end we found a grocery store and bought some food. We prepared sandwiches, and then drove to The Mammoth Cave. We arrived to the bus and drove to the cave. The guide talked all way to the cave. At last we arrived to the cave, opened a door and entered to the cave. It was beautiful! Stalagmites and stalactites where hanging all over the cave! After we did a tour around the cave and saw a water fall falling from the top of the cave, we started going out. Just then the guide showed us sort of big spiders on the top of the cave. They were like a thousand of them, they didn’t scare me but they were ugly. We went to the motel and slept there, tomorrow we have a long day of driving **
