Arrival

After 15 hours on the plane going the route Bergen --> Frankfurt --> Detroit, I was looking forward to finally meet my new host family. The very first second I met them, it was instant chemistry. We were talking and having a great time already. I mentioned on an e-mail that I were a Twins fan, so I were give a twins cap :) About halfway to Delta we stopped on a steak house where I ate a chicken-bread soup, fried onions, french fries and a full lenght rib, called 'badass back boar rib'. Richard told me that his math did not add up; "How can that fit in there?"
As we made it back to the house I met about 30 new people. And each time I met a new person, I had to say my name slowly atleast 5 times, sometimes more. I did not make it to bed before 11 pm, 26 hours after I left my home.

I have a lot to tell you, but i've been writing for 1 hour 15 min now, and I need to start on my homework before I'm off to basketball practice (ligger godt an til aa komme med paa high school laget, pappa ;)

Hi!
Good to hear from you. Glad things are working out well. Try not to let Brailee beat you to often. My very best to your family there. I`ll give you a bit more time to get settled and then we`ll call to say hello to you and the others.
