By the time we got home, it was about two oclock in the morning. Im not accustomed to staying out so late and I was extremely tired. When I was younger, I didnt have the money to go out for an evening like this. Now that I can afford it, I dont have the energy to really enjoy it.Residential AeraCommunity HospitalPublic LibraryCentral ParkFast Food RestaurantBus StopSupermarket 24H
