I giggle real quiet when Noah whispers back to me, I like that he did the same thing as me, that's what friends do. I look up at the taxi driver only a little bit, the taxi driver doesn't say lots so I think he probably doesn't like to talk so much. I wish he did because then I would talk to Noah about what it's like to drive fast, because I know cars go fast but I don't think Grandma drove her car faster than other cars so maybe that's not driving fast.

I looked on the map that I have and there's lots of places that don't have so many buildings and lights, they call it the countryside, I bet you can get a car and drive super fast there.

"Whoa, we're close to the beach!" I say when we're out of the taxi. I think I'm a little bit loud because some people look at us, I should be a little more quiet. "This is awesome, we can skate and we can go to the beach later if we want, I didn't know there were so many cool things here. I'm so ready."
