(no subject)
I had tried to upload my pictures from my trip since I've been back, but my internet has been so bad it hasn't let me. It was timing out every time, even if I tried one picture at a time! But I finally did it today! So I thought I might post some...not all of them, since there are 300 something!
We stayed at the Hotel Carlton. It was pretty nice and in a fairly good location..just a short tram ride to all the places we wanted to go.
our mode of transportation in san fran!
Lombard Street.
Fishermans Wharf.
From Fishermans Wharf, we caught a ferry that was supposed to go out to the Golden Gate bridge, although we didn't get very close to it, cause the water was so choppy. WE did go around Alcatraz, though!
The closest we got to the bridge.
Down the road from our hotel, was this:
From there, we flew to Minneapolis, and then got a bus from there to Fargo ND, where Nicole and her host family picked us up and took them back to their house, in
Nicole and her youngest host sister, Ellie.
Nicole outside her school, which is also on her street, and her host dad is the principal of.
Nicole with both of her host sisters, Ellie and Paige. She also has a host brother, but I didn't get any pictures of him.
We went to the Fargo Fair.
Me, Nicole and mum.
There was an "aussie Shack" there who were selling Aussie food, at a ridiculously high price, but we bought some anyway! haha! And chatted to the people working there! MMM, meat pies!
We're a long way away from home!
After spending almost a week with Nicole's host family, the three of us, went back down to Minneapolis to check out the Mall of America!
We spent the whole day there and I loved it! I want to go back! <333 shopping!!
Next stop: Chicago!
Chicago O'Hare
On our second day there, one of my penapsl from 10 years ago, Kelli, met up with us! So that was very cool!
We went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch! YUMMY!
And then to Navy Pier!
It was a lot hotter than the day before!
We couldn't help but take more pictures in the big silver ball!
Next, we went to Philadelphia. WE spent a lot of time hanging out with my friend Nicole (another one!) and her family, which was great, cause I love them all!
My sister was scared of their pet rabbit!
We introduced my mum and sister to smores at Cosi's. YUM!
We went to the beach in New Jersey!
It looks so different from our beaches here, I think!
So colourful!
We ventured into the city to check out all the historical things!
Fourth of July!!
While in Philly, we got on a train and went to:
We went up the top, but it was pretty overcast so we couldn't see much!
I've gotten so tall!
The next day, the weather was much better!
We went to Ground Zero, and did a tour.
Last stop: Los Angeles.
Santa Monica!
Venice Beach was cool!
'Everything in Transit'
We had lunch here:
I wouldn't mind living in Beverly Hills!
