Denver.

Last Friday I went downtown to Denver with my exchange group. On the picture above you can see the view over Denver from the first floor of the Science Museum.
We also went to the Molly Brown House. Molly Brown is a woman which survived the Titanic. She wasn't really fitting into the stereotype of a woman back then. She traveled the world, learned different languages and stood up for more rights for women. She died in 1942 and after her house should get destroyed to build a Parking Spot, the group 'Historic Denver' saved it and restored it. There are a lot of myths going around the house and the guided tour was really interesting. Molly Brown was also known as the unsinkable Molly.
We went to the Spaghetti Factory for lunch, which was really cool. After that we wanted to go Downtown but it was so freezing cold and windy that we decided to do something else...
In Downtown Denver, right next to a Potshop there is a great Store called Voodoo Doughnuts. We had to wait about twenty minutes to get some and I decided to surprise my Host Family with a fresh Doughnut delivery. All in all it was a great day, and I met a few people I never saw before. So whenever you should go to Denver and you don't know what to do, just go to the Molly Brown House and join spontaneous a guided tour; after that grab a weird Doughnut at Voodoo, maybe one with Bacon on it, and your day will be definitely awesome.

Time for Snow

My first time snowboarding in the USA!
The Italian exchange student Julia and Dennis, a really nice friend of me host mom picked me up at around 6 o'clock in the morning.
We first drove all the way down to Vail, but because of the Ski Championship it was closed and we went back to an area called Keystone. Dennis lent me the board of one of his exchange students he had before, and it fitted perfectly.
We had a really fun day, and yes, I may look like a guy or like ZZ Top, but I freaking enjoy it!

Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose...

Just let me introduce Rose, a wonderful Family-Member in shape of a Wiener Dog.

Raspberry-Chocolate-Cakes with Cream and Extra-Chocolate.

Yesterday we were baking two cakes. With chocolate raspberrys ans Whip Cream. I think they're Great!

Mead High School

My new school is Mead High School. It was build in 2009 and here you can see the offices.

 

The gym. Home of the Basketball, Volleyball and Wrestling Teams, of course of the Cheerleaders too.

 

 

All of our Teams re called Mavericks. Mead Mavericks.

My New Home.

 A small house at the suburb. Next to a small river and a skatepark. Nice outside and nice inside. I like this small Town really much.
It's great.:)

Red Robin.

I found the perfect place. When you are in the USA and you want to go to a Restaurant like you imagin it with all stereotypes, go to Red Robins. Great Burgers, free refills of Fries ans Drinks and  the perfect American feeling of Freedom.

Rodeo in Denver.

On my second weekend we went to Denver, to see the Rodeo. The official name is National Western Stock Show. It was the first time I saw the other Exchange Students form my group, the Aspect Foundation. Rodeo is so stupid but so funny at the same time!
It is weird. Weird but great.

Nice.

Star Wars and Marvel, two of my favourite things combined in shape of a Darth Vader key and a very Nice selfmade blanket. That's Great.

In West-Philadelphia born and raised.

 

After my arrival at the Philadelphia International Airport I had to wait 4 more long hours to fly to Denver. It was a really long day...

During the waiting there was my First Try of the taste of America. I never thought that I was trying one of the most popular Foods in Colorado.
