Baltimore

Last Sunday we had AFS trip to Baltimore!! I woke up around 6am and 7.15am one volunteer came to pick me up. I shared a ride with Austrian and the other Finnish girl. The car ride from Lancaster to Baltimore went really quickly, it was a little bit more than one hour. We got to Baltimore after 9 am and ran into some other exchange students. Because we were supposed to meet everybody 10am we decided to get some coffee.

When everybody had arrived to Baltimore we got our tickets and went to the National Aquarium! They had some pretty interesting things in there, I really enjoyed walking and taking pictures around there with other students! We had three-four hours time to walk through it and to be honest, after a while it got a bit boring. Like we were sitting in the dolphin show area for more than a half an hours because we had nothing else to do. I'm sure that the Aquarium is more interesting to younger kids than to  exchange students who are so exited to meet each others again!

Taylor and Simal!

 Once we were done with Aquarium it was time for a lunch! We got some lunch money from AFS. (Yes, exchange year is all about eating good food, don't even try to deny it!)

Me and Simal decided to go to a seafood restaurant, because Baltimore is located near sea! Then we found this awesome place called Bubba Gump Shrimp! It theme was the Forrest Gump movie and the food was just so delicious! 

(Thank God) there was nothing else planned to do and we had free time! There were good shopping malls at the harbor so we just went through all of the stores. The weather was just perfect to hang around in the sunshine. For dessert we went to the Cheesecake Factory, I got wild blueberries and white chocolate one. (I regret nothing!)

Nora! By the way we both are staying in Lititz and we go to the same school. Someone asked Nora if everybody in the Europe has a pale face and dark eyes because we both have. (Ööh, no? Originally I have blond hair, I just dye my hair dark.)

Group picture! Our group was basically the same as in the orientation camp, but now we had two more girls, one from Iceland and one from Austria. Thank you all for such a great day! Next time we are meeting in New York City!

Adding, now I have been here for two months! Woop woop!
