May 14

I woke up at about 9:30 and I went to finish yesterday's entry while eating breakfast  which was cereal and blueberry yogurt. After we ate breakfast I went to do my french that Mr. Stacey posted. My dad put his computer that I was using away and we drove the 3:00 drive to Matara. We went through a tunnel and it opened up into a beautiful mountain range! We decided to stop there to stretch our legs and have lunch at Castelmezzano. We went down a steep hill and I ran down, my face felt chilly while the wind blew in my face. When we decided to go up,  I asked my mom if I could run up the hill  and she said yes. I ran up for a bit but then I thought that I should wait for my family.  After they caught up to me, I sprinted up the rest of the  hill. After we got to the top we set up lunch and ate. While we ate, a cat strolled up on us and I pet its fur. We finished our lunch and we packed it up and headed towards Matera.

Then we traveled for 1:09, but we reached it in the end. We unloaded our things and my dad drove off to find a parking spot. He came back and we went into our apartment. It had nice bedrooms with fluffy blankets. It also had a very comfortable couch that we could lounge on.  After we unloaded our stuff we headed off to get gelato and groceries. I got white chocolate, gingersnap, and cookies and cream for gelato. We then looked for a grocery store, we found one but we left partially because it was shady and partially because they had a knife out in the open. My parents looked up a grocery store and they found one but it was 30 minutes away so we climbed into the car and went to that store.we got food and snacks so we went back home. Then we ate supper which was pasta and broccoli. My sister and I created a story together and read it to my parents.
