I rented a car - Aluguei um carro

No dia que a Laura foi embora, decidi deixá-la no aeroporto de Syracuse, que fica a uma hora de distância daqui. Eu queria passar o máximo de tempo com ela. Ela ia voltar no carro que tinha alugado. Só que para eu voltar para Ithaca ia ficar caro porque eu tinha que pegar um táxi super caro para a rodoviária e pagar a passagem de volta. Fora que eu teria que esperar várias horas. Ficava o mesmo preço de alugar um carro. Resolvi me aventurar. Foi a primeira vez que dirigi nos EUA. Foi ótimo. Com o GPS fica fácil acertar o caminho. Cheguei rapidinho e resolvi ficar com o carro até o outro dia. Fui à sorveteria com as garotas e fomos ao shopping e ao cinema. Às vezes eu desanimo de sair só de pensar de ter que pegar ônibus e/ou andar a pé. Foi uma boa e agora perdi o medo de dirigir aqui. O carro mais barato era um Kia Soul, um carro bem caro no Brasil (já que é importado). Olha aí a minha pose!

On the day Laura left, I decided to go with her to the Syracuse airport, which is about an hour away - she had rented a car and was driving back there. I wanted to spend as much time as possible with her. Except that in order for me to get back to Ithaca I had to take an expensive cab to the bus station plus the bus ticket back. Besides, I'd have to wait for several hours. It turned out that it cost the same to rent a car and drive back to Ithaca. I decided to go for it. It was the first time I drove in the US. It was great. With the GPS it's easy to find your way. I got here in an hour bu then I decided to keep the car until the next day. That's when we went to the ice cream parlor and then to the mall and to the movies. Sometimes I don't want to go out just because I get discouraged at the idea of waiting for the bus and/or walking. It was a good thing to do and I'm not afraid to drive here anymore. The cheapest car they had was a Kia Soul, a quite expensive car in Brazil (because it's imported). Look at my pose!
