October 29 – Traveling day

Today was our traveling day. We passed Washington DC while we were traveling to Maryland and we also had to cross big bridge. And now we are finally in Eastern, Maryland.
My roommate is Sara from Tucson and we live in nice family. They are married couple and their kids are all grown up and live away from home. I have my own bedroom.

October 28 – Host family day

I was sleeping until 10.20 and at 10.30 our host mum comes to pick us up to go to church. It seems that I really needed some sleep as I didn’t hear any noise around 9 when whole family woke up. Instead of going to church, I went to bookstore to buy some books. I could stay there for hours and still 1.30 hour wasn’t enough to research all books I would like to buy, but at least I bought some.

After bookstore we went with out host sister Avery to watch her practice for lacrosse. Lacrosse is very popular sport here in US and basically you have some sticks where you can put small ball in and you have to shoot ball into goal. Andrea and I, we went running in park for 30 minutes and it was just perfect sunny and warm day to stay outside and chill a little bit on the sun. I never could imagine that I would be in my shorts and t-shirt at the end of October. Amazing!

After lacrosse practice, we went back home to have dinner and some host family quality time just talking and sharing stories. It was really fun.

October 27 – Show day

I can only say that we had amazing show. It was full of energy and we had also guest during our CI interview. It was Ronald McDonald from Ronald McDonald house. For those who don’t know who Ronald McDonald is, he is McDonald’s clown you can find at any McDonald’s place. I didn’t know about that until they showed me the picture.

It was such a nice and sunny day and we had to be most of the day inside practicing. Oh yes. We also had “Show me” which was kind of audition for people who practiced certain song or dance from our show and wanted to perform on that place in the show.
