Day eight, walking late
Surprise, surprise day eight is another long day spent on the bus. Nothing terribly exciting happened on the bus but once we got to charlotte, North Carolina (spelling?) we went to a nascar track. I personally thought it was dumb because only 2 or 3 of us on this bus have even watched a race.. but when given the option of a 5 dollar tour i decided i would give it a shot. Im glad i did because while im still not going to watch nascar it was very interesting. I have never been in a raceway. Our tour guide was this little old lady who new her stuff quite well. She was a lot of fun and kept it worth listening to. Although she did scare me at one point. We were in these huge vans, driving around the track. But not JUST driving.. We were going about 90 around this thing and at one point she started messing with the temperature knob! was pretty scary but we made it out alive and much more learned about nascar. After arriving to our hotel we went to their mall, which wasnt amusing at all. It was basically like ours only it smelt funny in a few places… but after awhile curt, rob, kelton, and i decided we were ready to go back to the hotel instead of going down town. So with the help of the parents we got our bus route mapped out and were on the road! well we thought we knew which stop to get off of but when we didnt see what we though we would we asked the driver if he stopped by our hotel… He said they didnt stop there any longer but that we souldve gotten off at the last stop… so a lady behind us told us we could take a train to our hotel from the place we were at. but instead we just decided to walk because we didnt know how long it would take a train to get there, nor did we know how far of a walk it would be.. so to sum this story up we ended up walking for about 25 min in rain to get back to our hotel…. was a blast! lol
