So I have been here in Wray, Colorado for a week now and I am having the time off my life. It all started on Saturday 13th of August when I left Christchurch airport. My wonderful friends and family came to see my off. First it was off to Auckland with Wade, Harry and Tina 3 of the other 8 exchange students. We had a few hours in Auckland airport so we sat round and talked and got to know each other a little more. Then we got some tea (dinner as they call it here). Then it was off to catch our longest flight which was to LAX. The flight went pretty quickly because I slept most of the way which was good.
When I arrived in Denver Monica, Joe, Chasity and Connor (my host family) were waiting for me. We collected my bags then it was off home. The first few days we didn't do much because we were all tired. But on Tuesday we went into town to register me for school. When we pulled up there we about 15 cops there with guns. But it was ok because they were doing a mock shooting at the school so nothing had actually happened. Because of this we couldn't register haha. Great first impression of school I say :)
On Tuesday we went and wrote our names on an old water tank that has been written on by the family for nearly 100 years. Then we went and took photos in the sunflowers.
On Wednesday I walked around town and explored a little. It is such a cute place. Tiny but cute.
On Thursday we went to Greeley which is a city about 3 hours drive from Wray. We went shopping. I got some of my school supplies. Later we went out for dinner to a Mexican restaurant. The meal was HUGE but so good.
On Friday was just hung around home and didn't do much at all.
So that is my first week here in Wray. Many more adventures to come over the next year which I am looking forward to.
Sarah :)
