first week

Now I've been in the States for 2 weeks and with my host family for one week.
And it is wonderful! Everybody is so nice to me, the kids are so cute and I felt at home immediately.
I also really like the area. There's a lot of nature and still many things to do and nice places to go to.
I drove an automatic car for the first time (so easy!), I had my first "Smores", I've been to baseball games for the first time (the kids played), to the movies, to really good restaurants and shopping in a mall (twice a week, haha).
Driving here is so much easier! I didn't know that you don't have the "left yields to right"-rule and that you can turn right even when it's red.
Now I (almost) know where everything is located and I already met some other au pairs.
Everything is great :)
