Så blev det søndag igen. Allerede. Weekenderne flyver afsted her. Vi har det sjovt - nyder livet. Fredag var lig med tidligt fri, huset for mig selv og sleepover med Caja. Min host familie var til Snore N Roar i The National Zoo, hvilket vil sige, at de skulle til nogle aktiviteter der, samt overnatte. Da Caja kom, viste jeg hende downtown Bethesda. Hun skulle jo ikke snydes for byens skønhed, når mørket falder på. Hun var fascineret, jeg lige så. Der er så smukt her. Vi købte Georgetown Cupcakes og tog i Giant for at handle lidt ind til aftensmad. De har så mange underlige ting her, og tanken om dansk mad blev derfor byttet ud med at eksperimentere lidt med amerikanske skørheder. Da vi kom hjem stod den derfor på bagning, og der kom da også en farverig, sød og yderst kaloriefyldt skønhed ud af det. Efter tøsefilm og en ubeskrivelig stor indtagelse af frysepizza, kage, muffins, chips og slik var vi ikke bare mætte, men total færdige. Det var direkte ulækkert. Puha da. Overtrætte og høj på sukker holdte vi den kørende det meste af natten med internetshopping, snak og fjollerier. Klokken fire bestemte vi os for at ramme madrassen et par timer, før vi skulle tidligt op igen. Lørdag stod den nemlig på mini-roadtrip til Six Flags - en forlystelsespark med Looney Tunes og superhelte temaer. Det var stort, vildt og vådt. Vi havde nogle vilde timer. Rutsjebanerne er enorme her, og der er ingen tvivl om, at alt i Amerika er vildere og større. Så Legoland, Djurssommerland og Fårup kan godt pakke sammen. Danmark kan godt pakke sammen i forhold til staterne. Nogle af rutsjebanerne var endda så vilde, at det blev direkte ubehageligt, og jeg elsker ellers rutsjebaner. Fedt var det, og vi var kørt godt trætte, da vi nåede eftermiddagen.
Direkte efter Six Flags kørte vi til Julias hus, hvor vi senere blev samlet op. Vi skulle til Barbecue og møde nogle af hendes venner fra Peru. Vi spiste grill-mad, ristede skumfiduser og festede en smule. Ham fyren som lagde hus til festen var fra Peru og hans far er en diplomat, så trods alkoholgrænsen på 21 år, kunne vi lovligt drikke hos ham. Underlig regel, men fedt for os. Trods træthed holdte vi den det meste af aftenen, og det var super hyggeligt at mødes en større gruppe mennesker. Tror vi var omkring 25 - folk både fra Danmark, Tyskland, Sverige, Peru, Spanien, Frankrig og Argentina. Vi lånte en sofa hos Julia og overnattede der, for dernæst at tage tidligt hjem her i morges. I dag står den bare på afslapning, så jeg kan lade op til endnu en arbejdsuge. Har her i formiddags snakket med min dejlige familie derhjemme. Jonas (min lillebror) har fødselsdag, så der skulle selvfølgelig ønskes tilykke. Savnet bliver da lige en smule større, når man ved, at de har været samlet hele familien for at fejre ham. Æv da. Nu vil jeg smutte i fitness og føle mig sund for en stund. Ha' det godt så længe!
Translate: Sunday, already. The weekend run so fast. We're having so much fun here - enjoying life. Friday was great. I was free early, had the house for myself and had a sleepover with Caja. My host family was to Snore N Roar in The National Zoo, where they did some activities and slept in tents. When Caja arrived to my house, we walked downtown to see Bethesda. I wanted to show her the beauty of the city in the night time. She was fascinated, and I was too. I always am. We bought Georgetown Cupcakes and went to Giant to do some shopping for dinner. They have so many weird things here, and the idea of cooking some danish food for dinner was replaced with crazy american food. When we got home we did some baking, and we made a very colorful, sweet and extremely unhealthy cake. We saw a girl movie while we ate tons of pizza, cake, muffins, chips and candy, and we were so full. It was directly disgusting, but fun. Over tired and high on sugar we were awake most of the night. At four o'clock in the morning we decided to go to bed and get some rest before getting up early again. Saturday we did a mini roadtrip to Six Flags - an amusement park with Looney Tunes and superhero themes. It was big, wild and wet. We had some crazy hours. The roller coasters are huge here, and everything in America is just crazier and bigger. The amusement parks in Denmark is nothing compared to the amusement parks here. Some of the rides were even so wild that I didn't enjoyed that much, even though I'm usually love roller coasters. But it was cool and fun, and we were pretty tired when we reached the afternoon. Directly after Six Flags we went to Julia's house, where we got picked up later. We were going to a Barbecue to meet some of Julia's friends from Peru. We did the food on the fire, roasted marshmallows and partied a bit . The guy who housed the party were from Peru and his father is a diplomat, so despite the alcohol limit of 21 years, we could legally drink in his house. It's a weird rule, but cool when you're underage. We had fun, and it was nice to meet a large group of people. I think we were about 25 people - people from Denmark , Germany, Sweden , Peru, Spain, France and Argentina. We spent the night in Julia's house, and we went home early this morning . Today I just want to relax so I'm ready for another week of working. This morning I skyped with my lovely family. Jonas (my little brother) has birthday today, so of course I wanted to wish him congratulations and celebrate him a bit. I heard that the whole family has been gathered to celebrate him today and it made me miss them even more. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there. Now I want to go to the gym and feel healthy for a while. All the best!
