The Second Weekend with My American Family

Saturday

After energy demanding week we finally had a free weekend. Besses never let us know where we are going. Few days ago Vlad asked them how far the ocean was as he has never seen Atlantic before. It is few hundreds miles, about four hours driving.

After asking them we were told that we were going to swim in a lake near the city. In the morning we got in the car and set out for the lake. When we had been driving for more than two hours we realized that our destination is not the lake. In four hours we arrived in Wilmington by the ocean. We accommodated in the hotel and then went to the beach. Collin, Vlad and I went swimming, Jim and Tamara stayed on the beach controlling whether some sharks appeared. Despite the fact they sometimes attack the people there, there were quite many swimmers in the sea.

Sunday

We had a hotel breakfast, which Jim called as "all you can eat". Afterwards we went to see the famous battleship North Carolina, probably symbol of the whole Wilmington. After the tour we drove home, four hours again. Jim took me to promised beer store, filled with hundreds brands of American beer, after long searching I found Pilsner Urquell, which increased my Czech patriotism. In the evening we tried to prepare for a tomorrow´s model of the EU.
