A Short Journey

Yesterday I went to my hometown by bus. It was a pleasant trip. I was traveling for my own enjoyment. I woke up early. I went to the bus station at 9:30. The bus was late. It arrived about 10:00 and we left. We traveled through the beautiful countryside. The sun was shining brightly at first. After a while, dark clouds appeared in the sky. By the time we arrived at my hometown, it was raining heavily. I had gone out without a raincoat or an umbrella. Fortunately, an old friend was waiting at the station. I went to my parent's home in my friend's car. I stayed all day. We talked for a long time. At 5:00 I returned to the city. This time I traveled on an express train. It left on time. I arrived in the city on schedule. The day had passed pleasantly and eventfully. Next weekend, I am going there again.
