Our regional learning morning we spent in Old Salem. Old Salem is America's most comprehensive history attraction. It is combination of 4 different museums and we had chance to visit some of them.

It was pretty rainy morning. First we visited church where organs from 18. Century is situated in. We also heard few songs played on that organ. Amazing!
After that we moved to Old American-African church which is situated on old cemetery and you can actually see graves all around that building and also underneath building. It is a little bit creepy standing there and knowing that people were buried few centuries ago on the same place and until now they still haven’t found those graves as they are under the building.
After church, we went to visit Toys museum and I wish I had such toys when I was kid. All toys from past were there, from amazingly big doll houses to little cars and games for thinking. I was truly impressed with tiny mini silver spoons for dolls smaller that Barbie dolls and how detailed they usually made those houses. Impressive!

After visiting Old Salem, we went to have lunch in Methodist Church and after that whole afternoon of rehearsal for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade was waiting for us. It was tough training and rehearsal day and we did great job.

After rehearsal, our host families prepared really nice dinner in Methodist Church where we also had lunch today. Few host families decided to make such dinner so every each brought some food and we all ate together. It was really fun. From cast there were my roommate Andrea and others: Wouter from the Netherlands, Emi from Sweden, Jeremy, Johnny, Aubrii, Jeff, Sokhoeun and Mitch.

When we come home, we decided to watch movie before going to sleep and so we do that right now.

Here you can find photos from North Carolina.
