Idaho

Hey again!


I´m finally in Idaho now, I arrived two days ago after a totally disaster flight. Everything went just fine at the beginning but when I came to Washington to change plane everything went to a disaster. I had one hour to pick up my bag, re-check it and also go through all of these immegration passes and security controls. The problem was that my bag did´nt came to the right place so I had to wait for it for almost an hour, so I missed the plane to Denver. The bag finally came after one hour so now I had to re-book the boardingcard so I went to the custom service and they helped me get on the next plane to Denver. I calmed down myself and had some sleep on the plane but I did´nt realize that next problem was waiting for me at Denver airport. When I step out of the plane I saw this huuuuuuge airport. Also this time I had one hour for the next flight to Boise. I ran like Bolt with all my bags to the train that was going to get me to all the gates. Then I had to go through a couple of security controls before I finally came to the boarding place. As lucky I was I catched the plane with just a couple of seconds before they closed. The family picked me up at Boise airport and I crashed in to bed when I came to their house. I woke up next day at 10 and had some breakfast (rice crispies with milk) and Addie showed me around. After the tour I went to the school to get registered. I chose a couple of classes such as american film research, military history, filming and a lot of other fun stuff. When I was going to charge my computer I noticed that the sockets were different so me and Aaron went to the radio check to get an adapter for my three chargers so now it works! Me and Aaron are hopefully going to the river today for some rope swingning! Keep an eye on the blog, I willprobably going to update it every day from now. You can see my room and the school on the pictures. I live 50 metres from school! Peace

Åre

Hi peeps!
It´s been a while since I added a post and I do apologize for that, I hope you forgive me.
If you read my last post you know that I went to Åre last tuesday. Me and my family had a lot of fun and we got on to two different bikes. We rented mountain bikes the first day beacuse all of the downhill bikes were fully booked. So we changed the plans and rented the downhill bikes on friday instead, who gave us the opportunity to do some mountain biking on the only sunny day. It was actually better beacuse we really enjoyed the nature more when the sun was shining through the leaves and the lake was glittered. It was so beatiful!
We had a really boring weather at thursday so we decided to take the car to Östersund´s bathhouse. After a full day at the bathhouse we went down to the squere to watch the big festival Storsjöyran. This year´s festival offered a lot of great artists. The Ark, Miss Lee, Europe, Hoffmaestro and Chraa, Lars Winnerbäck and more. It was really fun.
On Friday, it was our turn to rent the downhill bikes. We went to the bike store to get the bikes and the whole protection gear. After we felt a bit stupid in these large gears we started to bike up to the lift and soon we understood why you need to wear all of these protection. First time on the track was a little bit scetchy but I ended up alive. No one bailed except my mother who flew out off bounds in the first curve. It looked kind of funny, and fortunality she did well.
The whole trip was really fun and if I have the opportunity I will defenetly go back next summer!
Here´s a short video of me when I´m riding in one of the tracks!

Peace!
