WE'RE BACK!!

So we had more adventures coming back into the states. Before we crossed the border, we stopped at a pharmacy to buy Jake some medicine for when he gets sinus infections. We were coming across the border and the border guard said we had to have our car checked. We pulled over to where we were to get our car checked and the guard started giving us instructions, but we could hardly understand him. He didn't speak English very well. Jake spoke to him in Spanish, but he wouldn't reply in Spanish. We had to take every little thing out of the car, down to our i-pod, sunflower seeds and maps. We were a little nervous that they would find the medicine, but they didn't. They looked right at the bag the medication was in, but didn't look in it. I was glad about that. Jake asked the guard if he could talk to his supervisor, and another guard came over and started yelling at Jake and telling him he could talk to him when he was done inspecting the car. He was being a jerk to Jake. Afterward Jake went into the building to complain about the two border guards. Their supervisor got mad at Jake for wanting to make a complaint. He wouldn't let Jake make a complaint. Jake told him that the guards should be able to speak english to work there and he was saying to Jake that Jake was racist because of that comment. Can you be racist for wanting someone to speak English in a country where everything is conducted in English? The supervisor stormed out of the building mad just because Jake wanted to make a complaint, so we got out of there fast. We had a long drive home but we finally got home this morning at 2am. We had a great time on our trip, but like always, it's great to be home.
