Hye everybody,

This is my last update from the USA. I'll be leaving the 1st of July.
I've had a very interesting month, mostly because of the traveling I did.
On my last blog update I talked about leaving for Ohio the next day.
Well, I did :)

I left early in the morning with the youth group from United Methodist church in Harriman, TN. We drove all day up to Lake Sandusky, right through Cincinnati.
We basically went there to do some work for a homeless center and a school.
We painted all week, and did our very best to make something pretty out of our work.
I think we did pretty well together. We were an awesome team ;)

On Friday, after 4 days of work, we all went to Cedar point. It is the best amusement park in the world based on Rollercoasters. We had a blast up there ! It was so much fun hanging out with all those crazy American friends of me :) I love you guys though

On Saturday we drove back to Tennessee. Joehoeww :)
So the week afterwards, I was home most part of the week. I spent some time with Diana and the grandchildren. We had a swim party, and went to the library together. It was fun !
Also, I had to say goodbye to most part of the Foreign Exchange students :( We were an awesome group, and I will miss y'all !

Then, on the 20th, Molly, Bruce, Diana, Adam and me left to Chicago for 4 days,
on Friday, we went to a major league baseball game from the Cubs. There was a 3 hour rain delay,  so we basically spent the whole day at Wringley field.
On Saturday, we went Downtown, and walked around there. We went up to the Sears tower ( Willis tower) and walked on the sky deck, which was really cool !
We also went to a fondue restaurant downtown, and after that we did a sunset cruise on lake Michigan. It was the best day ever ! It was so pretty on the lake, and we just had a blast !
Sunday, we spent the day with Diana's family. It was nice to meet them all, and see where and how they lived in the suburbs of Chicago.
Monday, we drove back home, and ever since them I'm packing my stuff, cleaning my room and hang out with my family and friends for the last times.
I enjoy every second of my last moments here.

Now, I'm all packed up, tomorrow is my last full day in the USA. I'll go to church, have a cookout, Have some friends and neighbors over to say farewell; have dinner with the church youth group, and afterwards go to Cotton Eye Joe for my last American Party :)
We'll have a blast !

Monday, I'm leaving around 4pm local time, and I'll arrive in Belgium Tuesday around 2.50pm local time. Hopefully I'll have no problems with my flights this time, so I can get home safe and on time, That would be awesome !

Looking forward to see you back, Belgium ;)

Love, Sara
