On Friday we had to say goodbye to the Wexlers. It was the sadest morning of our stay, it was raining. We arrived at the office quite early, so we had some time to go to the CVS and Starbucks and stuff. We also said goodbye to Lisa and all the WorldChicago staff and started our two- hour drive to Geneseo.
All we could see coming out of the city were corn fields. I slept most of the time and when I looked out it was like "Oh, look corn fields". By that time Ruuben was already quite annoyed by them. :) We arrived at Geneseo a bit late, so all the families were already there. We took a couple of group pictures and then we were sent to the host families and then we already left, it was all so quick.
I live at the Tiedeman's house with Donara from Lithuania. The house is quite close to the down town, it's big and old, but renovated. The father works at a bank and the mother is a speech pathologist. They have four kids: Christina 17- very reasonable and loves horses (she has her own horse and a lot of awards), Andy 15- always playing with the smaller kids, Arlen 10- nonstop chatterbox and Shenne 10- self-reliant little girl.
In the evening we went to an Italian restaurant to have dinner and to a drive-in movie theatre just between the corn fields, to see the movie "Despicable me". I sat at the car and watched the movie and there were fireflies outside. It was just like in the movies. I liked it a lot.
