An easy-going day

An easy-going day today. This morning we planned to go to Thousand Oaks, a town close by Simi Valley. Still in Simi Valley, we decided uncle Henry would give me my first drivers lesson. I had never sat on the drivers seat before, but it was awesome! First I learned a left-hand turn. (After I buckled-up, looked in the mirrors, hold the breaks, and started the engine). Little bit more speed, pull the break, stop, more speed again, left-hand turn, right-hand turn. Even parking, did that even in turn. It all went quite well I must say. Even tough he forgot to tell me to take off the hand break, what we found out as soon as I parked the car. Therefore, we started it all over again... But it went well; it was cool!
Next, we drove over the freeway, me sitting on the passengers seat again, to Thousand Oaks, the pictures of the beautiful view are shown beneath. In Thousand Oaks was a huge mall, and I was so excited to see all the stores, but felt a little quilty towards uncle Henry. But he said he didn't mind wearing out shoes. So, after some hours running from store to store (trying to find these particular UGG shoes in size 6 for my sister - which I did find in the end) we drove back to Simi Valley.
In Simi Valley it was a relaxing day, since were leaving at 4am tomorrow morning. First, I packed my bag for three days; put my pillow in the car so I can sleep a little longer while were driving for five hours; helped a little in the house. Then I walked to Simi Valley's town center. There's a store called Borders where you can buy things as books, music and films. I bought two books: Essay Writing: step-by-step guide, and Shakespeare's Romeo and Julliet: all-in-one resource.
For dinner we had mexican food. It was okay, but American people eat so much. I never manage to eat everything I ordered. One a sandwich they put five or more layers of turkey, or cheese or whatever you like. Everything is double or triple layered. For me, one layer is enough.
Tonighy I've spoken to Janet and Ashley on the phone. I'll stay with them from Thursday on. Very much looking forward to it!

Awwww, I'm so jalous of you!
And please say hi for me to Henry and give him a hug, haha. Note that he has to give me driving lessons too when I'm there!
I guess Myrthe will have her drivers license (err, how do you write that?!) already by that time.
I can't wait to hear more from you sister! Be back soon (I'm sure you don't want to, though.)
Lots of love your sister Denise -
