Thanksgiving

Unfortunately, it wasn't as happy as this holiday is supposed to be. But I can't complain, because I experienced the main part of Thanksgiving, which is the food.
It was a lot of food. It was so much, that I can't remember all the different things we ate. Of course we had a turkey. For me, as a vegetarian, this part was less interesting. I ate a lot of different food with cranberry sauce, which can`t be missing on the Thanksgiving table either. And after I was so full, that I just wanted to take a nap, there were three pies, that I had to try.
I really enjoyed the meal, but I felt terrible afterwards. I was told, that this is also part of Thanksgiving.

This is the Thanksgiving story:

The next day our frinds came over to our house. We ate dinner and played games.

Labor Day

Hi guys,

I know, Labor Day is already a month ago, but I hope that you forgive me.

On Monday September 2nd, the last day befor school started, Anna and I went to Mayfair. Mayfair is the biggest Mall in this area and it is awesome.

So we came into this huge building and it was overwhelming, you don`t know where to start. We deciced to walk a bit around first and to discover a few interesting stores. I really liked the candle store and a store with crazy cosmetics.
Of course, we didn`t miss Hollister, Abercombie & Fitch, forever 21, American Eagle...
I found a few really nice clothes. Clothes are cheaper here and it is so easy to find Jeans (In Germany it always took too long).
For lunch, we ate at a Chinese fast food restaurant and afterwards we went into a candy shop. Most of the candy here is aweful here, but Pop Rocks rock.
Then we spent more than two hours in the book store. Anna couldn`t stop saying: "Look, here is another authentic American book. You have to read it!" She has a whole list for me with American books and movies. I don`t think that I can finish her list in only a year.

It was a great day and one of the highlights.
