I have so many things I have to tell you! Last Friday it was the Diversity Day. We wore the typical outfits of our countries! I did not have the Spanish outfit, so I wore red and yellow (like the Spanish flag). Here I am posting a picture with one of my friends, Joyce, from Sudan. Aren't we pretty? I really loved the Diversity Day! After school that day, I met Eileen, my new host mother. She is very nice, I think I will enjoy a lot the time I will spend with them, as I enjoyed the time I spent with Mere, Lynne, and Don.
On Saturday I went to a lot of places with Lynne and Don. Mere was at a retreat, so she could not come, but I had so much fun. We went to Bernheim Forest. Here I am leaving a picture of the Snake Hollow, a sculpture made out of natural elements.
Then, we went to the Jim Beam Distillery (did you know that a 95% of the Bourbon Whiskey made in the world is made in Kentucky?!) and to the Old Kentucky Home. The official song of Kentucky, "My Old Kentucky Home," was written there by Stephen Foster. It was a pretty house, and the visit taught me so many things! We also went to the Abbey of Gethsemani, but the visits and the gift shop were already finished. If I can, I will go again eventually. It was a very busy Saturday, but I had lots of fun!
On Sunday I went to see my new house, and I met Brian, Pat (Eileen and Brian's son) and Tula. Tula is such a pretty, sweet dog! She is fantastic! The house was gorgeous, really. I was talking to Eileen, Brian, Cindy (my local coordinator) and Tula for an hour and we saw the different rooms in the house. I am excited for living with them. I am going to miss Mere, Lynne and Don, but I am happy that my new host family is so nice. They seem really fantastic people!
My Sunday School Class |
Before visiting their house, I went to Sunday School at Mere and Don's Church, like every Sunday. Since today was my last day there, I asked them to take a picture all together, as a class. Here it is!
After visiting their house, I went with Don to two museums. I enjoyed them, one was 21C, a museum-hotel, and the other was the Science Museum of Louisville. I think that museums are great, they show so many things just in one place. I never regret going to them. At the Science Museum, there was a super interesting exposition about the human body. They were real bodies that had been donated to the science and treated to make the exposition. It was really nice, the human body is absolutely amazing.
Now I am watching the Oscars. Wow! The magic of the Cinema. They are making it so spectacular, I am enjoying watching them. I have seen several of the movies that are nominated to some Oscars, such as "Lincoln" and "Les Misérables." Even if I do not do it very often, I enjoy watching movies.
Next Sunday, when I write you again, I will be in my new house, with my new host family. I am a bit nervous, but really excited. See you next Sunday!
Bye Bye!
