Besides, many of us have never been inside a cave, so I suppose the
13. trip will be very interesting. At first, we wanted to travel to Thay Pagoda because it is only over 20 kilometers away, and we could go on a day excursion.

I believe we are going to enjoy good weather with lots of sunshine. The only problem I seem to have is getting my parents' permission. They may not want to let me stay the night away from home.
