Day 3
Happy birthday to us!
This is Daria and Krystal’s day blog
We left New York by bus at 9.00am in lovely sunshine at
last (but still just 1 degree above freezing). We had great views of the city as
we headed south through New Jersey. A 2 hour drive through interesting
countryside (a mixture of bare deciduous forest/farms/small cities/etc.) brought
us to Allentown for a visit with Krystal’s Uncle and Aunt’s family.
Today is thanksgiving in America and we were treated with
a traditional thanksgiving lunch as well as a bit of a birthday celebration.
We had turkey, ham, vegetables and salad; these were very
welcomed as we haven’t had much ‘real’ food in quite a while (basically since
we left). This was followed by a birthday cake and traditional sweets such as
pumpkin pie. We had lots of fun playing pool while our meal was being prepared.
Then afterwards we were given a tour of an everyday American condo. While on
our way to the condos we saw just how different American suburbs are to
Australian ones. For a start think of every American movie with a perfect
suburb THESE STERYOPTYPES ARE TRUE!!!!
What a wonderful experience-we are so great full for the
lovely time we had with the Campain family.
Another 3 hours drive and we arrived in Washington DC. where we
checked into another very nice hotel. Most went out to an IHOP restaurant before
heading back for an early night.
