We went to his parents house my Aunt Mary and Uncle Darren and their other children Sarah and Brett. The family prepared food and then played basketball. On Sunday the family went to my Aunt Cindy's house for breakfast and then the kids watched Monte Python and the Holy Grail.

Our adventures began in the wee hours of the morning with a snowy drive courtesy of Jason's parents to the Syracuse airport. We left the house around 4am and got to the airport just before 6am. We ever so patiently waited in line to check our bags http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Syracuse/blog-254942.html As a local it may seem silly for me to write about travelling to a town only about 45 minutes from my hometown but my goal here is not to write for myself but for others and especially to write about the great places only locals know about. Syracuse is not much of a tourist attraction but there are many great places to go downtown especially on a Friday or Saturday night.

While in country I am hoping to make regular posts including pics and maybe even some video who knows.

Its a University town on the former Erie canal network and although its 8206quite a big town its small by US standards. 8206The hostel was a little strange we were the only travelers there and the only other 8206resident was elderly and seemed ill. The hostel took up the first floor of http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Syracuse/blog-74425.html So I actually have a place to stay in Germany now My family lives in Herzberg. It's in Lower Saxony which is a state in the north. I haven't talked to any of them yet but apparently I have a 15 year old sister named Isabell and a 20 year old brother named Sebastian. They are VEGETARIANS and have a cat. That is about all I know of the situation right now. Still it is surprisingly comfo http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Syracuse/blog-16344.html Mama just left a minute ago for Monterey California with her kayak bicycles and paddie in tow what a sight. Sometimes I forget why she is leaving in the first place. I am really ok with the transient quality that most relationships have. Something about the dismemberment of my own family is harder to deal with. I'm feeling awfully lonely. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Syracuse/blog-16181.html This was definately the best weekend yet Jolene and Chet american uni friends had invited me to there place in upstate New York for their towns annual Harborfest Oswego is near Syracuse and right on the edge of Lake Ontario a huge ass lake that you cant even see the other side and no tuffy that dosnt make it the oceani took an eight hour bus ride from newton boston to syracuse new york http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Syracuse/blog-16090.html Hey Had a great day off today drove into Syracuse to go the the biggest mall ever its about 2 hours drive a bit less we got there and spent about 3 hours shopping had something to eat in the food court and then set off to meet some others at the beach at Verona lake.
