This day started like a normal day at Ben Davis High School. We were in different lessons, but in the 10th lesson we had our German Home Room.
We talked about all sorts of things.
After school everybody spent time with his or her own family until we met at a Mexican restaurant. There we ate Mexican food and talked about the happenings of the day and about our time in America. After this 'farewell party' we drove home and went to bed because we needed to be fit for our flight back to Germany.
In addition to that, yesterday was a relevant day for the Americans because it was the so-called 'Veteran`s Day'. On this day everbody thinks of the soldiers. And on this special day many things are for free for the Veterans (for example free carwash or a free coffee at Starbucks).
So the three weeks of our stay in a America are over now, and we have lots of things to tell.
Our group talked about things we will miss and things where we look forward to.
The biggest thing we all will miss is of course our host family. But the school and the daily Home Rome with the other Germans too. Also the other Americans and the interesting and delicious food will be missed.
The things where we look forward to are certainly our familiy, friends and our bed. But also we are glad to have no chlorine in our water anymore, the typical German sorts of bread and sparkling water.
Short conclusion: We had three wonderful, informative and interesting weeks in America and are glad to see our families again. But we are looking forward to see some of the Americans in Germany in spring. Guys, we are waiting for you!!!
