As a history buff and all around lover of traveling to new places, I was excited to be able to go on this trip. No one in my family had ever been that far across the United States and I was determined to be the first one. Not only

First I went into the women shoe dept. Store, I looked all over for some shoes but I did not find anything. Next I went into the women clothing store. I thought about buying Della a nice outfit.

The individual came back again at a latter hour, and preceded to head to the second floor. ASM Paola was informed by cashier Joya, that the individual was heading upstarts.
