| ...if the above activity list didn't interest you, then possibly, you should visit your local library and borrow a book. Guaranteed, it will be one of the cheapest adventures and greatest experiences you ever have ...AND very memorable too! **Reading is the new COOL!** I wish they had these kind of activities when I was a kid...I might be a Nobel Prize Winner by now... or at the very least, an author of 100 novels. :P |  |
