How to get 10 things out of a vending machine for just $9

1. Save 9 1 dollar bills.

2. Use them to buy your 9 snacks. (Not at the same time, though!)

3. Collect all the change the vending machine gives you.

4. You should have 90 cents in dimes if you used the right kind of vending machine. (The kind where everything costs 90 cents)

5. If you have anything less than 90 cents, keep spending money until you have 90 cents.

6. When you have at least 90 cents, put it into the vending machine and buy yourself the eleventh thing!

Lily, here! Currently I am in Sigourney, a town in Iowa. The flights (we took two to get here) were long, but fun because it was my first time on a plane. It was really cool until my ears got totally plugged up and they hurt. I guess the pilot was trying to land quickly and the pressure in my ears was just too much for my ears. Iowa is pretty cool it's SO nice because it's pleasant and quiet because there are so little people. The warm wether is nice, but oh, the bugs! I think I have three bites, but I'm the one who has the least bites! Anyway, there's only a few bugs in the entire world that I really like, like one of them being a bug I saw for the first time tonight! Lightning bugs! (fireflies)

Bye! I have to go.
