i have nothing against busses – even when they bounce around because the driver is going through every pothole in the city to make the scheduled stops.  But today, in the heat, the voyage was too much.  

it wasn’t helped by the fact that we were going somewhere we’d never gone, and were not sure of the bus route or the timing.  So we wasted too much time in the sun walking and waiting. And we got to the memorial  too early and had to use the time to catch our breaths.  Coming home we missed the bus and got back too late – our gym teacher had been waiting and resting and was geared up to exercise the rest of our energy away.
