The day after Thanksgiving-get-together-partys 29/11-08.

This morning when I woke up everything was almost as it was when we arrived our first day. Amos brother's family was leaving and they were packing when I got up. They are going to drive back to Washington DC which is going to take them at least 8 hours. Before they were to leave they had decided to go and eat lobster with the rest of the Green family.
But Billy and grandfather Amos stayed behind when Amos brother bought the lobsters, they couldn't all fit in the car at once.

Me, Billy, Amos and his parents sat down and played some cards. Here in the Green family they love to play card so I can really tell you that I'm in heaven. I learned a new game called 31 and it was easy and fun to play. I actually won once (I'm proud over myself :P).

When all the people were gone and we had had some lunch Karin took us to the shopping center and to look for one book and to look at some TVs. Karin want a new TV. When we looked at that we went to a store to bye some things for my scrapbook. I'm doing a scrapbook to remember this trip and I think it is going to be very nice when it's done.
 
We came back to the house and Amos and Karin did not want to make dinner, we went to a restaurant instead. The restaurant was named SAHARA and it was a really good restaurant. I hade Port Saied (chicken) and it was marvelous. It had a taste of lemon and hot spices whit a twist of garlic. When we went back home and I had to go to the computer and write in my blog. When I was done doing that I went directly to bed.


Good Night!


My second Thanksgiving dinner day 28/11-08.

Today when I woke up I eat some breakfast and Mallory and her boyfriend asked me if I wanted to play some UNO whit them. We played for like one hour and then we stopped playing because we had to get ready for "Thanksgiving-get-together-dinner".
When everybody had arrived we were like 40 people and we ate pumpkin pay, turkey and sweet potato and a lot of other strange food. I can tell you people that are reading my blog that Thanksgiving food are very strange I think. I really don't like it so much but I managed to eat some of it. The dessert was also strange but it was ok. It was very sweet and I couldn't eat much of it.
At the get together I met a girl in my age and her name is Michaela (I don't know if her name spells like that). She and I spoke the whole evening and she was very nice to talk to.

Later that evening all the people older than 14 years and younger than 22 years played some more UNO. I like to play cards very much and now I can play cards whit people every day. My mother hates it so I can't play at home. When the clock was like 11pm all the people was gone, everybody who was still here went to bed because the afternoon had been very long and people was tired. Now I have seen a really big Thanksgiving party and I promise you it takes a lot of energy to manage. I went to bed and fell asleep very fast.


Good Night!


Going back to Millbury for Thanksgiving 27/11-08

Today me and my mother had to go up very early. We were taking a train back to Providence Station at 9am, and it is Thanksgiving today so we were told to get there early so we not missed the train. We woke up at 6am and my phone had so low battery level so I sad to my mother that we couldn't go back to sleep. I was so worried that my phone was going to die when we was asleep so I kind of had my own timer in my head :P.

We had already packed our things so we just had to check out and go to the Penn Station. In New York today there were going to be a huge parade just for Thanksgiving so they had closed the street we where supposed to go on :S. We had to go around the whole thing but we managed. Instead we found the big Pennsylvania Post Office and there we posted all of our postcards.
 
Then we went to the train station to see if our train was on time, and it was. We where very hungry after the walk, we had not eaten since last night. We founded a Starbucks Coffee just one block down from the station and we took a coffee and a croissant fore a change. Now the clock was 8.15am so we had to go back to the station for to wait for our train.
 
At the station we waited for our train to come up one the board but it did not :S. The clock was already 8.55am and we started to get a bit worried that we had missed the train. We asked a woman who stood next to us witch train she were going on and she was going to the same station as we were so she helped us all the way to Providence station. She had relatives in Sweden actually.
When we finally were on the train we just relaxed, I read my book almost the whole way to our station.

When we arrived Karin was there to pick us up. At the house there where a lot of people, they where hear for Thanksgiving diner. Today there where only like 15 but tomorrow we are going to be like 40. We sat down to eat when we arrived. Later most of the people where going to other places for more Thanksgiving food. Me, Mom, Karin, Amos, his parents and Jessica's friend Fiona sat down by the fire plays and talked till there was time for bed. I tried for the first time eggnog but I did not like it at all. We went to bed at 9pm and I was so tired I can't even remember putting my head on my pillow.


Tomorrow  it is Jessica's birthday so we are going to sing to her at 9.15am.


Good Night!   


From Statue of Liberty to Victoria's Secret 26/11-08

Today me and my mother woke up at 8am. We went to Starbuks Coffee and had a bagel with cream cheese and a long coffee. When we had eaten we went to take the sightseeing tour bus.
We were going to one ferry who was going to take us to The Statue Of Liberty. When we got to the ferry we had to stand in line again. The line was like 300 meters long and we had to waite for like 1h to get on the boat.

When we came out to the Statue Of Liberty we took some pictures and then we went back. Actually there was not much to see. When we had to go one the ferry back we had to stand in line for 30 minutes more. I can say one thing about the whole USA and that is, you always have to stand in line fore all sort of things.

When we finaly was back in the city we took a walk from Battery Park up to Soho were we went shopping. I found myself two pair of jeans and some T-shirts. After a couple of hours shopping we took the bus to Rockefeller center where we went of and look at all the people who spend mony on iceskating. Then we went to the hotel to leave all the bought stuff. After that we went to Victoria's Secret.

Then we went to have some pizza slices. They were huge like an ordinary Swedish pizza and had a lot of suffing. Now we were full and we were tired of walking so we headed home. At the hotel we started packing our things as we are leaving tomorrow morning at 9am.

Good night!

Sightseeing in New York and Brooklyn 25/11-08

Today when I woke up I realised that me and my mother had slept 13 hours. We got dressed and got out to buy some breakfast. We went to Starbucks coffee and had a bagel with cream cheese, a long coffee and a tall hot choclate.

When we had eaten our breakfast we took a sightseeing tour down town. We went out of the bus to go and see ground zero but there was nothing to see because there were a high fence around it. So, instead we went to a shopping mall called Century 21. This was compleatley crazy because there were people everywhere and they hysterical getting things.

When we were done we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and on the Brooklyn side we went to a cafe to have a hot choclate that was supposed to be the best choclate in Brooklyn. But... I did NOT like it! We walked back.

We hopped on the sightseeing tour going uptown and ended up in the big shoppingmall called Macy's. We only covered two floors and that took us about 2 1/2 hours. After that we had dinner and eventually it was time for bed.

Now I only got one more day in New York "_"

Good night!

From Millbury to New York 24/11-08

Today me and my mother got up at 4.55am. We ate a bagel and took a cup of coffee. Amos drove us to Providence Station and helpt us get our tickets. At the station I bought a croissant and a tropicana juice and my mother bought mor coffee.
The train left Providence at 6.55am. The tripp took 3h and 25m. On the train I started to reed my new english book, Twilight, by the author Stepenie Mayer.

We passed New Haven where my mother workt as an au-pair when she was younger.

We arrived at Penn Station in New York at 9.30pm. There we looked for a city map and when we found it we went to our hotel but they said that we couldn't ceck in before 3pm. So, we whent sightseeing and ended up at the top of Empire State Building. The view was fantastic, we also saw the Statue of Liberty. We are going to see her tomorrow.

When we were down on the ground again we went to check in at our hotel named Portland Square Hotel on 123 W 47 Street. Just around the corner we have Brodway. At the hotel I took a shower and sadly enough we had to go to the pharmacy to buy pain killers and cold medicine because my legs were killing me and my mother were starting to get a cold. At 6.15pm we were back at the hotel. We were so tired so we decieded to sleep for an hour before going out to dinner, so we set the alarm at 7.30pm and got to sleep. When we woke up the time was 0.20am and I then remembered that I had turned the alarm off and got back to sleep. So, no dinner for us just right back to bed.

Good Night!

The first day in Millbury

Good Morning!
We woke up at 07.30am and went up to have breakfast. We talked a while and booked our traintickets to New York.
We are leaving tomorrow at 06.55am but we have to leave the house 1h earlier. 

We went to a shopping mall today. It was very big but all stores had the entrance from outside and it was freezing cold outside today. It was only -2 degrees but the wind was like -25 and we had to walk outside from store to store. I bought some clothes, a christmas gift for my mother and a book.  

We went home after 5 hours and were quite tired so we just chilled for a while and I palyed a little bit with the house cat Puma.

Now I am going back to the homework I have to do. Then I have to pack and get ready for NY, the big apple.

I'll be back after my NY trip so...
See ya! 


The tripp to Boston! 23/11-08

Hello!
I have to write in english my whole tripp. I had totaly forgotten that I haven't got the swedich letters A and O whit two dots over them and A whit one dot over it on the english dashboards. Wel wel, I hope you peopel who is reading my blogg still want to read it. If I spell wrong I hope you know what I mean.

I hade to get up at 3 in the morning to take a cab to the trainstation in Stockholm. There, me and my mother took the train to Arlanda airport. When we arrived we had to check in and we had to stand in line for like 40minutes (I hate lines :P). We went through securitycheck and then we went on board the plane. They had to defrost the plane befor takeoff. In the air we were served breakfast, we got french croissantes whit marmalade,coffie and much more. We flew in 2h and 5m then we landed at Charles de Gaulle in Paris.

In Paris we hade to stand in line for like two HOUERS! (Hate lines even more now :P). Then we looked a littel in the taxfree store but we diddn't bye anything. It was verry expensive there.
The plane that were going to take us to Boston was late but only 30minutes. We went on board the plane and now we hade a 8h long tripp to Boston.

On the plane we were seated behind a little girl from France who kept talking to us. Unfortunately we didn't understand a word she said. She only spoke french. On the plane I completed my histori homework. So now I only have 6 homworks left to do :P. On the plane I thing the only thing we did was eating. They served us food, bread and cakes. I usually like when the flight takes off and the landing but this time the landing was terrible. My ears was killing me. When we finally was on the grownd we hade to take us throgh customs (tull) and why change the new rutin so we stood in line some more to be exakt like 30m.

The security when entering USA is verry important since the 9/11 attac so we had to fill out two forms to tell if we had been arrested, where we were goning to stay and give the name of the family and more. We also had to give our fingerprints.

Finally when we got our bag it had no handel left and was riped on the front but we diden't bother to do a damagereport.
We finally got out and my mothers friend Amos picked us up. We came home to one big house and was served a verry good dinner. When we had eaten we were so tired but we had to stay up bacause the time was only 6pm (USA is 6h after Swedish time). We managed to stay up till 9pm but then we dropped dead :P.
Good Night!


Mitt första blogginlägg:P

Jag är en helt okunnig nybörjarbloggare:P
Jag sitter uppe en Torsdagskväll och tänker "-Varför inte skaffa en blogg lagom tills jag åker till Boston?".
Börjar bli lite orolig över vad jag ska ha med mig och vad jag ska packa mina saker i :S.
Jag Leona ska åka utomlands och jag vet inte vad jag ska packa i.
En väska vore väll en bra början men frågan blir då, vilken väska och hur stor måste den vara och bla bla bla.
Vart jag än åker och hur kort eller långt borta det än är, vill jag ha med mig hela min garderob!.
I det hära inlägget är det nog bara klagomål. Men jag hoppas att det blir jättebra inlägg när jag kommer till Boston. Då får jag ju berätta varje kväl vad jag har gjort vaje dag ;). Och självklart måste det ju bli bilder också:).
Första inlägget blir bildfritt, men när jag börjar lära mig bloggen så kommer jag att utväckla den till lite mer än bara text som nu:D
Ingen vet just nu att denna blogg existerar men snart gör några det förhoppningsvis:P
Ha det bra ni som ser detta inlägg. Nu ska jag sova :P
GOOOOOOOOD NATT!<3 


Välkommen till min nya blogg!
