Jenkintown, PA
I took a 5 hour bus ride from our school to my new home. It was so long because we made a couple of stops, but at the last stop as we waited for our host families to pick us up, everyone was smiling and nervous and excited and scared and overwhelmed. My host dad, picked me up, and when we arrived home I met my host boys, the aupair I'm taking over from, Fiona, and the aupair I'm working with, Evelyn. Later that night I met my host mom, and all the family gave me such a warm, loving welcome! I basically only had dinner and slept that night (12 hours!) but the next day I had a chance to explore the town!. Jenkintown is so beautiful with very old style homes that look like elaborate cottages and the sort of streets you'd see in an American Christmas Special. I woke up to snow which was magical (little tricky to walk in though!). The town has everything - a huge mall, lots of other shops and restaurants and libraries and hospitals and churches and just everything you could ever think of or need. I think I'm going to love it here, and I can't wait to explore near by Philadelphia and then New York City again and then other nearby cities - Washington D.C, Pittsburg, Boston! I'm having so much fun and although I miss everybody dearly, I'm starting to make some amazing friends here which is wonderful!
