American party

by Edwin

Liked planned yesterday Steve and Dawn where throwing a party today. In the morning we went to the supermarkt (I still can get lost in there, they are so huge) and did shoppings for the party. In the afternoon Steve turned out to be a real Cinderella and cleaned up the house completely till it was absolutely perfect.

Later in the afternoon the first friends came over and the party started. It turned out to become a real American party with two barbecue’s, a lot of food and drinks and many friends and neighbours. The whole evening we spend time hanging around the picnic table in the garden, enjoying food and drinks, getting to know new people, playing some videogames, relaxing in the jacuzzi (what is turning into a daily habit, going to miss that when I travel further) and enjoying the fireplace in the garden. It was nice to talk to more Americans and talk about the differences between Europe and America. For me it’s really weird that you can buy guns here everywhere and for them it’s strange that you can buy drugs legally in Amsterdam. There were more differences like that, so we had enough to talk about. Again I had to explain where the Netherlands is and that Amsterdam is a city in the Netherlands and not vice versa. It was a nice evening and although we didn’t went camping, we had a lot of fun. Tomorrow we’ll still go to the lake, so we have something to look forward to.
