Eventful Trip to Camp (Day 19)

In the morning we all met at the Mather's where we said good-bye to the Faber's.  We were supposed to head up to camp to make a few platforms that connected to the cabins decks.  So we said good-bye and the Faber's asked if I would visit them while in Iowa.  I said sure, but I'm not too sure how that is going to happen since we have no way of contacting each other.
So Sarah, Josh, Steve and I headed back up to camp.  On the way up were stopped by a police car for what seemed like 30 minutes.  The trip before on our way up to camp a ball rolled out in the street and we ran into it.and it knocked our license plate off, so we went back to retrieve the license plate but where it secured on the car broke off so we kept it in the front shield of the car. And that was the reason we were pulled over.  The police person said that it had to be connected to the car in it's original spot and was going to give us a ticket.  So we waited in the car for probably 10 minutes for him to come back with this ticket, but in the end only came back with a warning.  So we fixed it, but not right away.  We were pretty sure he couldn't give us a ticket because the license plate was still visible.
After that whole fiasco we arrived in Focsani (Folkshawn for pronunciation) and did some grocery shopping at CarreFour (sp?) where I was able to put a coin in for the cart and when I returned it I got the coin back. Super good idea that I think should be implemented in the U.S., but not necessary.
When we finished shopping we just piled everything in the backseat with Sarah and I and finished driving to the camp because we forgot to bring our own bags.  Here you pay for your bag or you bring them to the store with you.  Which I think would be another good idea to implement in the U.S. to cut down on pollution but not necessary.
So finishing our drive Sarah and I had Salsa, chips, cereal, and canned food attacking us constantly.
We then arrived at camp, cut a whole bunch of boards with the sawmill and loaded them on the tractor.
For some reason I was a little bit upset, but not quite sure why.
Then we had sloppy joe's for supper, played some cards and then off to bed.  And the day was finished.
