Summer

Today's blog requires us to write about some kind of adventure-type activity we took part in over the summer. The only really big thing I did this summer that I can think of at the moment was going to my cousins house in Ontario. It wasn't a very long drive to get there, maybe 2 hours, but it still felt long. I hadn't been there in a while, so I had mostly forgotten what there house was like.
Most of the weekend I spent there, I was normally juts on my cousins computer, there isn't much to do there when it's mostly adults, or we played rock band or something. One thing we did do that I enjoyed though was go-karting. I had never gone go-karting before and it was an exciting first experience, I got 7th place. It was a lot different than I thought it would be, it was freaky turning those sharp corners when there was 7 go karts about to turn in front and behind you. I think in total there were about 30 drivers. Going at the top speed in the go-kart is a lot faster than you would think juts from seeing it, but it's a really good adrenaline rush. I almost crashed twice, but didn't have any real accidents.
One of the cons though is that it was quite expensive, it was 17$ for 10 minutes, which in my opinion is definitely not enough, but I really wanted to go go-karting. It was my first real race in some kind of vehicle, and it was the highlight of my weekend. I hope next time I go I can experience it again, or even somewhere else.

Yeah, I agree, go-karting is a riot and expensive. But still worth it.
