No one could be able to explain how I ended up on the front seat of a truck pulling a huge RV in the middle of Texas.It was me and a guy,probably around 30 years old.But it doesn’t matter I trust him even if I just met him.After falling asleep again I’m waking up inside the RV that has been parked close to Texas State University in San Marcos.Not a really good view the sight of a rock quarry extraction site,but at least the weather is really nice.I mean 20 Celsius degree in the middle of December.I think is around 2 pm because my stomach is crumbling and John,the guy that was driving the truck,took me out to eat at Railyard Bar and Grill,a really nice restaurant-bar.For the next three days we stayed there because John was waiting for someone else to come.While waiting we headed up to S. Antonio,the seventh biggest city in the U.S.A.There I went bck in time to the Alamo battle.I was there with the American soldiers and then on top of tower.Cannon balls, bullets, rocks are flying outside and inside the fortress and a cannon ball hits where I stand.I scream and when I open my eyes I was having a tour of the Alamo without realizing it.John hugs me and whispers that everything is alright,as if he would know what happened.I did not talk about anything for the rest of the day.After we went to eat and then we walked around the center.The next day Lori arrived.They are happily married.After eating we went the longest mall in the U.S.The next day we left to Port Aransas. We drove six or seven hours without knowing were to stop for the night.The stars there were beautiful.For three days will stay here on the beach celebrating Christmas.after we hit the road againd driving from east Texsas to El paso where we stop for the night.Then straight to Phoenix.While driving from Texas to Arozona I felt like I was again back in time and the cowboys and Indians where there.I think I even saw a dinosaur.We stop untl new year there to go to Las Vegas and from there straight to Seattle.Once there the couple tells me that my journey ends here.Of course,I have to go back to university.But that wasn’t it.They explained that my life journey was ending here.I died in Atlanta and right now I was in a coma.They are just angels that let me experience what I should have done with my host-parents John and Lori.I was just a ghost that experienced once of the best thing:a road trip of the south and west cost of the U.S.A.
