In June, one of our friends had a birthday. We bought him a gift and were all set to go, but we decided to tell them we weren't coming so we could show up as a surprise.

We got ready, hopped on a bus, and made it to Harwich. We had to transfer in that town, but then we found out the last bus in that direction had already left. Natasha checked the GPS to see where we were and how far we had to walk. Since we had been there before, I assumed it wasn't far, so we started walking.

We walked for three hours. It was getting dark. We started to freeze, so we stopped to buy some coffee. We passed a graveyard (it's not surprising to see cemeteries along the road in America, at least on the Cape, that's for sure). When it got completely dark, we realized it was time to call. Our friends didn't arrive right away because they still had to drive to us. While we waited, we were terrified. We stood hugging each other near the road as cars drove by. We tried to cheer each other up, but we were scared to death)) And by the way, we still had more to walk than what we had already covered. That's how badly we misjudged the distance)))

Then they picked us up and took us to the birthday party. We warmed up, calmed down, and congratulated the birthday boy)) We rode in a car where the back seats were sideways! For the birthday, our friend rented out a club. It was just us. It was small, but we danced our hearts out))

By the way, about alcohol: if you're under 21, don't even bother trying to buy it. They won't sell it to you. It's very strict there. And entry to the club was $80 for those 21 and over. We got in because the club was rented out.

This day is still in my memory, because that day I experienced a mix of emotions with Natasha: from total fear to happiness))

P.S. Our friends told us we shouldn't have been scared, nothing would have happened to us because this state is very safe.

But friends, don't pull surprises like this and take care of yourselves!:)

Of course, each of you will have many events that you will remember for a long time)

I had a lot of bright and memorable moments over the summer, and I hope you spend your summer 2015 just as well.

I would like to dedicate the next pages of my blog to the places I've been.

First, I'll tell you about my mini-tour with my girls (Washington-Philadelphia-Boston). On this page, you'll learn how we managed to make this trip as inexpensive as possible.

I'll also tell you about how I spent 2 weeks in Miami after 3 months of work. And I'll tell you about a really cool place - Key West)

It won't end there)) I have more to tell you:)
