Today I went by feet to the Basket Market, some grocery store. It took us 1h30 Then we went playing some typical American sport like base-ball, socker, hockey socks with poeple we know here. While we were waiting for our pizza we played Mariokart on the Wii. It was very funny. In the evening I went to Boston to see a play from Shakespeare in the park in the open air. It was very nice even if I didn't understand the most what they were saying. We walked into Boston by night after then. Boston is 30 minutes from where I live so I can go whenever I want to. Mostly now because in the winter it will be difficult to ride on the roads. Love u!... read more

Hi, It's been a couple of days now since I took the plane. It get well and we haven't any problem. After we arrived at Boston, we took the bus for 3h30 to Waterville, ME. We are living at the Colby College till Friday morning. I needed some time to get over the jetlag, but now it's all done. When you want to now what time is it for me you just have to count six hours less. (exp. when it's 16:00 a'clock in the morning in Belgium, it's 10:OO for me) On Teusday evening we ate a typical american dinner: BBQ. We had to make our own hamburger, that was nice. It was served with potatoe salad. Ans as dessert we had cookies and brownie. After that we went to the pub on the campus ... read more
