Carol & Wayne I love you guys.Without you I would have gone back home already.You opened your house and your heart to me, whatever I write will not express all my thoughts and I love to you but you already know that I love you.You are the best host parents ever.

Thaks for the oppurtunity to experience a Portland Trail Blazer basketball game in Portland, Or.., even though we could not get back home that night because of flooding across the roads, to learn and understand how they play American baseball and to walk in the CROP walk with my host parents’ grandson Cameron (even is I had to carry him on my shoulders for part of the walk ). I did make it to the half- way mark at the park and then we all went and enjoyed Baskin & Robin ice cream cones.

The best of all was getting to drink Henry Weinhart root beer.

It was my favorite American Drink next to Snapple peach ice- tea. I have enjoyed trying many new American foods.

It has been a great opurtunity to improve my English and learn how to speak like an American.

Marnie , thanks for carrying us to places and opening your home to me as well as your moral support during my tough times.

And a special thanks to my family for this oppurtunity , I learned how much I love all of you.
