2 month.......I can´t believe it.....the time runs soooo fast....!!! Ich bin jetzt schon für 2 Monate hier und es ist einfach eine wunderschöne Zeit und ich genieße es total hier mit meiner Familie, Freunden und Schule! ♥
Wir hatten vom 15.10 (Mittwoch) bis zum 17.10 schulfrei. This break is called MEA, it´s just for Minnesota. :)
I went to the Black Hills in South Dakota with my family and Hannah, another foreign exchange student from Germany in Minnesota. We left Tuesday night after my XC meet and stayed over night at my host grandparent´s house. We left there on Wednesday morning and had to drive about 7 hours to the Black Hills. We stopped on our way at a restaurant and took the first pictures.
Here is a picture of my American family and me. It was so windy and sunny-we could hardly see something.
Hannah and me riding buffalos....no THESE two were not real.
On our way to Rapid City where we stayed for the first night, we drove through the Bad Lands.
Prairie dog - they are sooo cute. We saw hundreds of them :)
The land is amazing *-* Can you see the red stripes on the hills? So pretty!!
We met a guy who took a pic of us with the endless land in the background .... :D
The picture says everything:) |
We had a wonderful first day. :)
On Thurday was my dad´s birthday. :)))) We left the hotel after breakfast and drove to Wyoming to the Devils Tower. It was awesome *-*

My family and I ♥- wonderful land and weather *-* |
These people are crazy |
What was funny, was that there was another foreign exchange student from France who we know from our organization and we had breakfast in the hotel with him on Friday. :)
We drove through Custer State Park on Friday in the morning and visited Mt. Rushmore in the afternoon. In the evening, mom, Hannah and I went shopping while dad stayed in the hotel.
Beautiful! If you look carefully you can see the faces in the back on the right side;) |
Buffalos - they were so close to our car!! And THIS IS REAL!! |
How small we look, haha :D - Shows how big everything is! |
Pretty land*-* |

Yes-we drove through this little spot! :D |
That´s where my second home is! ♥ |

We visited a cave on Saturday and also drove through Bear Country. This night we stayed in Mitchell.

And dad: I ate tomatoes and lettuce on a sandwich! Remember you asked me last time :D After this we had ice-cream and I had Twix and cookie dough....I love cookie dough...!!!!*-*
On Sunday we visited the Corn Palace, but there were so many constructions.
This is made out of corn! |
