Well I drove for the first time this past weekend! I actually went really well! It wasn't nearly as hard driving on the other side of the road...and car lol I have to get a bit more practice in the snow and on the main roads (says my host dad!) then i can drive myself around YAY I am free lol
I went into Philadelphia on Sunday for the first time. Let me tell you, American "customer service" employees are NOT very helpful :S I went with Evelyn on the train and a bus to the Philadelphia Museum of Art....and it proved very difficult to take public transport. The website wasn't exactly helpful or clear and neither where the employees at ticketbooths/on train etc. They don't really accomodate for tourists.
Anyway, the Museum was AMAZING! It was THE biggest museum I've ever been to and it was one of four buildings for displaying art in Philadelphia. The set up was a bit annoying because you would always miss a room or back track alot but I saw European art, Asian art, Armour & Weaponry and my favourite Modern & Contemporary art. They also had several rooms in the European and Asian section, that represented homes or schools or temples of that era. It was beautiful and amazing and my only complaint was that we could only use photography with no flash and those rooms were too dark to see the photos!!! But I will always remember how amazing it was standing in those rooms, imagining I was in Japan or medieval Europe!
Today was the first day I worked with the boys, after Fi left, so it was a little hard but not too bad! It was Martin Luther King Jr day so the boys were home alllllllllllll day lol.
I wanted to go into New York this weekend, but my host family is taking the boys to the 'Please Touch Children's Museum' and since I really want to see that, I might hold off New York for a few more weekends......I'm sure it will still be there! Evelyn also wants to see the zoo, so I guess we're off to that! I'm so glad my weekends are filling up - I'd hate to have nothing to do! Although all I want to do is sleep all weekends, I'm trying to just get out there - after all thats why I'm here!!!
