Hello everybody

Two days ago we left Carroll County and moved to St Mary’s County..We said goodbye to the Reeds, which were sooo amazing and took a really good care of us. I have to say (and all the group agreed) that was one of the best things that happened to us: meeting them (did someone mention “meeting the best that U.S can offer”?..:)

Till now, everything here is just great and we all have had a lot of fun. Those O-flights were REALLY one of the best things, and yeah, as usual, i took so many pictures (but you know me by now..).

After we said goodbye , we met Dave, and we discovered new things at St. Mary’s, such as Amish carts (which was the first time i saw one for real). We went to a great pool party to get to know the other cadets and to relax a bit (you all know, of course, that we have a lot of stress in that journey..).
We met there our new host families. I don’t know if all the people in the U.S. are like this, but if that is so, i might come visit much more often…

As for me, I’m staying with the Myers, which, in my opinion, are one of the coolest families that there are: They really love to have fun, going to water sport, flying planes and the room I’m staying at has a lot of surf-boards, which made me think about extending my stay in the U.S…  Dan, the cadet, is one of the coolest guys that I’ve ever met: He really likes all those extreme sports, he knows a lot about real great things, and he loves to have fun, even if on the edge (which i like the most..).

I have to admit that at the first night i crashed because i was so exhausted, but then the morning came..:

At first, we met at the air-field, where Bob McCall showed us were the squadron meets and operates from, I really like that air-field.  After that, we went to Annapolis, a charming place with great bay. We went to see the U.S. Naval Academy, which was very nice: a lot of impressive buildings that inspired lots of movies.
After that we needed to get our “air supply”, so we went (yeah yeah..) to do some shopping.

But then came the real thing: We went on jet-ski at the bay, and it was soooo cool!!!! riding it and going on knee-boards (when Dan, of course, leads the way..) was soooo great!!  Have to admit, at this point, that i didn’t do so well with the knee-board, but hey, i had great time there.

After that we went to Bob’s house for a birthday party to his daughter, which was great, and yeah, he knows how to do BBQ…I’m telling you all: There are not enough miles on earth for me to run afterwards to burn all the calories..;)

So, as you see, we keep on having tons of fun

I will write again soon, and for now: i want it to keep on like that

Bye for now

Nate (the escort, yeah..)
