In July I went to Trentino with friends from school on a tandem bike.
Angelo came with us — he's my PE teacher
and I really like him.
My mom came too,
but Angelo is the one who steers the tandem
because my mom is too short.
If I sit in front
she can't see the road
because I'm tall.
We took a bus
and all our bikes
were on a trailer attached to the back.
Every day we rode on bike paths
and every night we slept somewhere new
with our sleeping bags and pads.
One night we slept outside under the stars.
At first I didn't want to — I was scared —
but it turned out to be really nice!
One day we rode down this really long hill
and we went so fast!
I love going fast.
One day we took the train with our bikes
and went rafting.
It was my first time rafting:
it was an adventure, and when I came in
with our raft
everyone clapped because I had been brave.
One day it rained so much
we all got soaked!
I got tired that week
but I also had so much fun!
