Cape Cod

Sorry, I haven't had any idea for writing, because I didn't do any special last week. There was memorial's day on Monday, so we left to Cape Cod on Saturday and came back on Monday. Cape Cod is very beautiful place by the Atlantic ocean. There is very long beaches and great dunes everywhere.

We lived in our neighbor's summer house. It wasn't shore. The place, where the cottage was, reminded the Finnish archipelago. There was conifers and even mosquitoes in evening. The weather wasn't very good, because the sun wasn't shining all time, but it was still warm.

On Sunday we visited in Province town. It was so nice small village. We went to Pilgrim monument. It was so high tower, where we could see the whole village

Boston city

Yesterday we visited in Boston center. It was so beautiful city! There were a lot of old buildings and skyscraper. We saw the old city hall and also the new city hall. The old city hall was much smaller than new and it was so small next to skyscrapers. I love this city, because there is both old and new architectures.

 This small building in the middle of skyscrapers is the old city hall.

 And this is the new city hall.

NHL

Yesterday I was in Boston bruins vs. Montreal game 7. It was amazing night! I have always dreamed that I could get to  NHL game and now it is true. :) There were a lot of  Bruins fans and the game was so exiting. Atmosphere was crazy and the fans were shouting " Let's go Bruins!" all time, even though Boston Bruins lost. :( Above all, the game was a mindless experience!

Mother's day

This mother's day was a little bit different than our normal mother's day in Finland with my family. In Finland we eat a breakfast together in morning and then we go to visit our grandmother. And there we went to Arlington park. We enjoyed and played baseball. The weather was perfect. It was +24 grader and sun shining all time. I love summer in there. There isn't mosquitoes and there is warmer than in Finland and there are more beautifully trees and flowers. The day was wonderful! Still I missed my mom and family today. <3

American way of live

Americans have their own way of live. I have noticed a couple of things, which is different than in Finland.
1. If you walk on the street, people smile to you and say "Hello or Hi, how are you?". And in Finland people don't smile or say nothing to you.
2.Drivers dodge you if you are walking across the road.
3.Americans eat everywhere. They always have snacks in their back or they buy it somewhere.
4.Americans haven't a golden mean. For example they eat very healthy or very unhealthy or they are crazy about sports and sports all time or they don't do nothing sports.
Everybody who I have met have been very friendly. I like Americans.

.... San Diego

Now we are back in Boston. Our trip was amazing in California! San Diego, La Jolla is very beautyful town and there is a lot of beautyful beaches.

Last two days we were on the beach and surfed. We were also shopping in the mål. I don't remember it, but it was very nice place! Forever 21 and francesca's were my favorite shops. I bought three t-shirst, a skirt, a shorts and a jeanblouse. I love these clothes<3.
Weather was so hot in San Diego. There was over +30 grader every day and the sun was shining all time!
