The Trip Back

After the Desert Museum, it was the day to leave. So that night we started packing. I sneaked into the kitchen where they were packing and they showed me my presents. One of my presents was a little chest where you light incense cones. And then there were two keychains: one with a turtle and one with an elephant. They both moved. I chose the elephant, so the turtle was for Princess Pink Horse. We put my clothes in a suitcase and the things they gave me in a little chest. Then they gave me Aunt Turtle's incense stick and lit it. With that I went to sleep pretty easily.

They told me we would start the trip at night when I was not awake yet. I fell asleep and then it got cold and I suddenly woke up. I was already in the car! Then I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't do it, so the morning came and I was a little bit sleepy and it was boring. Then I started seeing mirages because it was so hot. I even started seeing cactus and bull skulls! Then I saw one cactus had flowers. We finally found a resting spot under a patch of trees. We ate a few snacks we packed and then went down for a little walk. Then we got back into the car and came to a town in Texas. We ate at a restaurant called River Smith's. I ate some fish and got a cutout whale, a cutout shark, a cutout submarine, and a cutout treasure chest. Then we found a hotel near River Smith's. We watched a bit of TV and went to sleep.

When I woke up we had pancakes for breakfast and we got in the car and started driving again. I did a few games and saw some machines looking for oil. And that's all I remember until I came home and I gave Princess Pink Horse her presents. I can't wait to go to Mexico again next Summer!
