Day 12
... For once you don't get into a car that is like a small home or bubble that takes you to and from. The only choice you have here is to use your feet." He showed us on the Map areas to go to...even Places not on the map. It was great advice and we are excited to go by his words.

Then we went over to another pizza stand for two slices ...
